Corrosion-Resistant ERCuNi5Fe1 Wire for Offshore Platform Welding

Our ERCuNi5Fe1 copper-nickel Welding Wire is a heavy-hitter for offshore platform welding. With roughly 5% nickel and 1% iron in a copper base, this wire delivers robust, corrosion-resistant welds that thrive in harsh marine environments. Built for TIG welding, it offers a stable arc, minimal spatter, and clean bead appearance. It’s ideal for joining copper-nickel alloys (like 90/10 or 70/30 Cu-Ni) or dissimilar metals, making it perfect for offshore pipelines, heat exchangers, and structural components exposed to seawater.

We’ve designed our ERCuNi5Fe1 wire to stand up to the toughest offshore conditions. The nickel and iron content ensures top-notch corrosion resistance, especially against seawater, with tensile strength around 50,000-60,000 psi for strong, crack-free welds. It’s a champ at welding copper-nickel alloys to steel or other metals, delivering reliable joints for critical applications. The wire’s smooth feed and consistent arc make it easy to use, whether you’re welding by hand or with automated systems, ensuring precision on offshore platforms.

The copper-based welding wire market is growing fast, projected to reach USD 4.5 billion by 2030 with a 5.5% CAGR. Offshore oil and gas, marine, and renewable energy sectors are driving demand for materials that resist corrosion in extreme saltwater environments. Copper-nickel wires like ERCuNi5Fe1 are in high demand for their durability and compliance with strict marine standards. With offshore wind farms and deep-sea projects expanding, reliable welding solutions for corrosion-resistant structures are more critical than ever.
