Power Generation
Marmetal offers a wide range of copper-nickel alloys that are vital for heat transfer applications in both nuclear and fossil-fired power plants. These high-performance alloys are extensively used in critical components such as steam generators, heat exchangers, coolers, condensers, tanks, as well as associated piping, valves, and fittings. Known for their exceptional corrosion resistance and ability to minimize macrofouling, copper-nickel alloys excel in challenging water environments, including seawater, brackish, freshwater, and cooling tower water. Their robust durability ensures long-lasting, reliable operation even under demanding conditions, which is essential for maintaining the efficiency and safety of power plant operations. These alloys help optimize thermal performance while reducing maintenance needs and downtime, making them indispensable in the energy sector. Marmetal’s commitment to quality and innovation ensures that these alloys meet the rigorous standards required for critical applications, supporting the sustainable and efficient generation of power worldwide.
Popular alloys such as C70600 and C71500 are chosen for their exceptional heat transfer capabilities, making them ideal for use in steam condensers and related equipment. C70600, known for its high thermal conductivity, is typically utilized in the main body of condensers to maximize efficiency, while C71500 is preferred for the steam inlet zones and air removal sections, which are exposed to more severe conditions. Marmetal maintains an extensive stock of these alloys, ensuring quick response times and reliable supply for demanding projects. In addition, Marmetal offers other copper-based alloys like C44300 (Admiralty Brass), C36500 (Muntz), and C46400 (Naval Brass), each valued for their corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. This diverse selection allows Marmetal to meet the varied needs of industries requiring durable, high-performance copper alloys.
