Copper Nickel Bolts Supplier & Exporter
Aurum Overseas is a trusted global manufacturer and supplier of premium quality Copper Nickel Bolts manufactured for industrial applications requiring superior seawater corrosion resistance, excellent mechanical strength, long-term durability, and reliable performance in harsh marine and corrosive operating environments. These high-performance fastening solutions are extensively used in shipbuilding, offshore platforms, desalination plants, marine engineering systems, condensers, heat exchangers, food processing equipment, chemical processing plants, and industrial piping assemblies where conventional stainless steel fasteners may experience rapid corrosion failure.
Copper Nickel alloys, commonly referred to as Cu-Ni alloys, are copper-based alloys primarily strengthened with nickel to improve corrosion resistance in seawater, saltwater exposure, chloride-rich environments, and aggressive industrial applications. Because of their exceptional resistance to biofouling, seawater corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and erosion corrosion, Copper Nickel fastening systems are widely preferred in marine and offshore engineering projects requiring long service life and minimal maintenance.
Aurum Overseas supplies certified Copper Nickel 90/10 Bolts and Copper Nickel 70/30 Bolts manufactured according to ASTM, DIN, ISO, and international quality standards for industrial buyers worldwide.
What are Copper Nickel Bolts?
Copper Nickel Bolts are specialized corrosion resistant industrial fasteners manufactured from copper-nickel alloy grades engineered to perform reliably in marine, offshore, and chemically aggressive environments. Unlike standard stainless steel fasteners, copper nickel alloys provide superior resistance against seawater corrosion, chloride attack, marine biofouling, cavitation damage, and long-term saltwater exposure.
The two most widely used grades include Copper Nickel 90/10 and Copper Nickel 70/30, where the numerical designation refers to the percentage composition of copper and nickel present in the alloy. Both grades are specifically developed for environments involving continuous contact with seawater systems, marine equipment, heat exchangers, cooling systems, and offshore engineering installations.
Because corrosion resistance directly impacts equipment life in marine applications, industrial engineers frequently specify Copper Nickel fastening systems for critical assemblies operating in highly corrosive conditions.

Copper Nickel 70/30 generally provides better erosion resistance compared to Copper Nickel 90/10, especially in high velocity seawater systems.
Chemical Composition of Copper Nickel 90/10 & 70/30 Bolts
The corrosion resistance of Copper Nickel bolts comes from the balanced copper and nickel composition with small additions of iron and manganese.
| Element | Copper Nickel 90/10 | Copper Nickel 70/30 |
|---|---|---|
| Copper | Balance (~88-90%) | Balance (~68-70%) |
| Nickel | 10% | 30% |
| Iron | 1 – 2% | 0.4 – 1% |
| Manganese | 1% Max | 1% Max |
| Zinc | Trace | Trace |
| Carbon | Low | Low |
Higher nickel content in 70/30 grade improves strength and corrosion resistance under more aggressive seawater conditions.

Why Copper Nickel Bolts Are Used in Marine & Offshore Applications
Copper Nickel Bolts are widely used in industries where components are continuously exposed to seawater, salt-laden environments, moisture-rich operating conditions, and corrosive chloride environments that rapidly degrade conventional fastening materials. Their exceptional resistance to seawater corrosion and marine biofouling makes them one of the most preferred fastening materials for marine engineering and offshore infrastructure.
Industries involved in offshore engineering, desalination systems, shipbuilding, and marine fluid transfer systems frequently specify Copper Nickel fastening systems because they provide long-term durability with minimal maintenance requirements. Engineering projects requiring lightweight corrosion resistant fastening solutions often also evaluate Titanium Bolts for aerospace and marine applications, while corrosive chemical processing systems commonly compare Alloy 20 Bolts where acid resistance is a primary requirement.
