From the heart of Hamilton, New Zealand, Hemi Metals stands as a trusted manufacturer and supplier of high-performance alloys, with a specialisation in Copper Nickel 7030 bars and rods. We pride ourselves on delivering materials that are forged with precision and reliability, directly supporting the robust engineering and marine industries both locally and across the globe. Our commitment is to provide not just a product, but a durable solution you can count on for the most demanding environments.
The defining characteristic of Copper Nickel 7030, or cupronickel, is its composition of approximately 70% copper and 30% nickel. This powerful combination grants the alloy exceptional resistance to corrosion, particularly in seawater, and impressive strength. It performs reliably across a wide temperature range and possesses good ductility, making it a versatile and tough material well-suited for fabricating components that must withstand harsh conditions for years on end.
