Alloy copper are main used to solve sea water corrosion issues due to their content in Nickel and Aluminium.
A research shows a heat exchanger channel in welded steel construcion with a protective coating compared to a butterfly valve in alumimium bronze after use 30 years on the cooling system of a nuclear power plant.
Mechanical Characteristics of Alloy Bronze
Chemical composition of an aluminium bronze alloy enables targeting the right corrosion resistance and improving the mechanical properties required by engineering.
Resistance to Cavitation
Effect of Temperature on Mechanical Properties
Data from Valve World.
Once faced with corrosive environments, Nickel Aluinium Bronzes valves are first choosed by engineer. Because Bronze alloys valves offer a wide range of capalities to meet stringent design requirement and reduce down cost due to less leakage issue.
