(ASTM B148 C95800 | UNS C95800 | ISO 1640 CuAl10Ni5Fe4)
Cu 81% · Al 9% · Ni 5% · Fe 4% · 25+ Year Seawater Lifespan · Zero Lead Content
Product Overview: The Saltwater Specialist
Trusted by Shell for offshore valve systems and NASA for launch pad components, C95800 sets the benchmark for marine corrosion resistance. This nickel-modified aluminum bronze withstands 30+ knot seawater flow, high-pressure cavitation, and subzero Arctic temperatures. With <0.01% lead content, it meets global environmental regulations while delivering 790 MPa tensile strength – making it the top choice for mission-critical marine infrastructure.
