Core Advantages

1. Marine Durability: Ideal for condensers and heat exchangers in seawater.

2. Versatile Processing: Adaptable to hot/cold working and welding.

3. Cost Efficiency: Balances strength and affordability for mass production.


Applications

  • Marine Engineering: Condenser tubes, ship fittings.

  • Energy Systems: Heat exchangers in power plants.

  • Architectural Hardware: Corrosion-resistant bolts and valves.

  • Electronics: Connectors and heat sinks (with protective coatings).


Processing Guidelines

  • Hot Working: 760–800℃, avoid 200–600℃ brittleness zone.

  • Annealing: 550–650℃ to relieve stress and restore ductility.

  • Post-Cold Working: Low-temperature annealing (200–300℃) to prevent stress corrosion.


FAQs

Q1: Differences between C4430 and C44300?

A: C44300 (ASTM) has higher Cu (69–71%) for extreme corrosion resistance, while C4430 focuses on cost-effectiveness.


Q2: Suitability for seawater?

A: Yes, but long-term exposure requires coatings and maintenance.
