Abstract
A corrosion-resistant copper-based alloy contains 0.1-5 percent by weight of nickel; 0.01-1.5 percent by weight total of titanium and niobium; 0.2-5 percent by weight total of iron and chromium; 0.01-0.25 percent by weight total of germanium and gallium; and up to 0.01 percent by weight each of the trace elements phosphorus, silicon and manganese. The alloying elements passivate and cathodically protect the copper while the trace elements function as stabilizers. The alloy may be used for the facades of buildings, for roofs, for the gutters of buildings and for applications involving flowing corrosive media.
