Stoker concast offers copper nickel alloy. There are two commercially important groups of copper nickel alloys in the 90/10 and 70/30 ranges both having exceptional corrosion resistance in sea water. With either, 1 or 2% each of iron and manganese is added for a further improvement in corrosion resistance. In this form, they are particularly useful for seawater condenser systems and for cladding off-shore structures. A further group of alloys in commercial use is based on cu-3% ni. These alloys are used for electrical connectors and springs. The cu:ni alloys are an example of complete miscibility in the solid and liquid states. All the alloys have identical single-phase structures. In the cast condition, the wide freezing range gives rise to heavily cored dendrites and as the two elements inter-diffuse slowly, segregation usually persists.
