Based in the heart of Addis Ababa, Tariku Metals stands as a trusted manufacturer and supplier for industries requiring exceptional performance and reliability. We specialize in the production of copper-nickel forgings, components crafted with precision to meet the demanding conditions of various critical applications. Our commitment extends beyond simple supply; we work closely with our clients, offering technical expertise to ensure our forgings provide durable and cost-effective solutions. At Tariku Metals, we are dedicated to strengthening Ethiopia’s industrial landscape with quality you can depend on.
The unique composition of copper-nickel forgings, primarily an alloy of copper with nickel and often small amounts of iron and manganese, gives them a distinct set of mechanical advantages. This combination results in material that is not only strong and tough, but also exhibits excellent ductility, allowing it to be shaped without losing its integrity. Perhaps most notably, these forgings offer outstanding resistance to corrosion, especially in challenging marine and chemical environments. This blend of strength and durability makes them a superior choice where failure is not an option.

Compatible welding processes for copper-nickel forgings include TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), MIG (Metal Inert Gas), and Stick welding. These methods ensure strong, durable joints while preserving the material's properties.
Copper-nickel forgings are commonly used in marine, aerospace, chemical processing, power generation, oil and gas, desalination, and plumbing industries due to their corrosion resistance, strength, and durability in harsh environments.
Factors ensuring the durability of copper-nickel forgings include proper alloy composition, effective heat treatment, corrosion resistance, precise forging processes, and protective coatings, all contributing to strength, reliability, and long-term performance.
The remarkable properties of copper-nickel forgings make them indispensable across several key industries. In marine engineering, they are the go-to material for critical components like propeller shafts, pump parts, and seawater piping systems due to their superb resistance to saltwater corrosion. The oil and gas sector relies on them for valves and fittings that handle corrosive fluids. Furthermore, their reliability extends to power generation plants and desalination facilities, where their longevity under extreme pressure and temperature ensures continuous, safe operation, making them a cornerstone of modern industrial infrastructure.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
