    Copper-nickel alloys have good resistance to corrosion and biofouling in seawater, making them suitable for pipes, heat exchangers, and marine structures. They have been used in naval and merchant ship applications for over 50 years. This document focuses on welding and fabrication of the two primary copper-nickel alloys in order to allow for their effective use and operation.
