Cupronickel is widely used for marine applications due to their excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, high resistance to biofouling, and good fabricability. Copper rich alloys are ductile, can be hardened only by cold working, good corrosion resistance, good strength, low temperature co-efficient of electrical resistance. The nickel content in these alloys also enables them to retain their strength at elevated temperatures compared to copper alloys without nickel.
