Alloy properties

This alloy is part of the Nickel-Copper family alloys. Its chemical composition (around 2/3 nickel and 1/3 copper) provides this grade good mechanical characteristics along with desirable corrosion resistance. It is generally used up to temperatures of approx. 400/500°C where it keeps good properties. Alloy 400 can be considered as a choice material for parts of units working in contact with sea water because of its insensitivity to stress-cracking corrosion induced by chlorine ions. Authorized use in pressure vessels up to 425°C.
