Based in the heart of Addis Ababa, Tariku Metals has built its reputation on providing robust and dependable materials for Ethiopia’s growing industrial sector. We take great pride in supplying high-performance Copper Nickel 955 bars and rods, a testament to our commitment to quality. This particular alloy is specially chosen for its exceptional ability to withstand some of the toughest environments, especially in marine settings, making it a trusted resource for engineers and fabricators who cannot afford to compromise on material integrity or longevity.
The strength of Copper Nickel 955 lies in its carefully balanced composition, primarily a blend of copper with a significant nickel content, along with small but crucial additions of iron and manganese. This combination delivers impressive mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and excellent ductility. It maintains its toughness remarkably well across a wide temperature range and offers outstanding resistance to corrosion and erosion, ensuring a long, reliable service life even under constant stress and exposure.
