Solitaire Overseas is a leading manufacturer of Copper Nickel Products in India, which offers high quality engineering solutions to international markets. Copper Nickel, also commonly known as Cupro Nickel, is a specialized alloy of copper, which comprises nickel and other strengthening components of copper such as iron and manganese.
This copper nickel alloy is reputed to be the best choice of marine and offshore application because it is highly resistant to seawater corrosion, biofouling, thermal stability, etc. As a leading supplier of copper nickel products in India, we offer high performance products which are unique to high pressure and corrosive conditions. We have a complete portfolio of copper nickel alloy products that consist of Copper Nickel Pipes, Copper Nickel Tubes, Copper Nickel Heat Exchanger/Condenser Tubes, Copper Nickel Flanges & Copper Nickel Fittings.
Our entire copper nickel products undergo intense testing and are produced according to international standards of ASTM, ASME and DIN. This guarantees very high durability and dependability in the vital industries like the desalination plants, shipbuilding, and chemical processing.
Our extensive Copper nickel products list includes various forms and grades designed for maximum durability:

Copper-nickel alloys are essential in environments where saltwater contact is constant. Key applications include:
Copper Nickel alloys have a natural resistance to biofouling (the buildup of algae and barnacles) and exceptional resistance to stress corrosion cracking in seawater.
90/10 is the most common grade for general seawater applications. 70/30 contains more nickel, making it stronger and more resistant to higher flow velocities and extreme corrosion.
Yes, Cupro Nickel alloys have excellent weldability using standard methods like TIG and MIG, provided the correct filler metals are used to maintain corrosion resistance.
