The results of extensive corrosion testing and 15 years of use by Volvo show that C70600 copper-nickel tube is superior to the coated steel tube used in today’s U.S.-made vehicles. Reprint, SAE Technical Paper, March 1993.

Summarizes CDA’s experimental programs on the interrelationships between copper alloy, solder composition, flux formulation and process parameters.

Describes growing usage of Copper Alloy No. C70600 (90-10 Cu-Ni) for automotive brake lines. Compares the strength properties and corrosion resistance of 90-10 copper-nickel tube with traditional copper-brazed, double-wrapped, coated steel tube.
