They specialize in crafting precision-engineered copper-nickel alloy products tailored for marine, industrial, and engineering uses. Thanks to their cutting-edge production technology and rigorous quality control, Sadiki Metals guarantees that every hex bar meets international standards for corrosion resistance, strength, and dimensional accuracy. Catering to sectors like marine engineering, chemical processing, oil and gas, and power generation, the company provides robust and dependable copper-nickel solutions across Central Africa. With a reputation for reliability, technical know-how, and prompt delivery, Sadiki Metals is a go-to source for high-performance Copper-Nickel Hex Bars.
Copper-Nickel Hex Bars are generally crafted from 90/10 (90% Cu, 10% Ni) or 70/30 (70% Cu, 30% Ni) alloys, with small amounts of iron and manganese added to enhance strength and resistance to seawater corrosion. These alloys are known for their outstanding resistance to biofouling, erosion, and stress corrosion cracking, even in challenging marine and chemical settings. Their mechanical properties include tensile strength ranging from 275–550 MPa, yield strength of 100–300 MPa, and elongation of 30–50%, depending on the specific composition and temper. The bars are not only strong and ductile but also easy to machine, making them perfect for critical structural and marine applications.
