Abstract
Abstract A corrosion resistant copper alloy having copper as its principal component and in addition containing 0.1 to 11 percent aluminum, 0.1 to 10 percent nickel, 0.001 to 1.0 percent boron, 0.01 to 6 percent iron, 0.01 to 10 percent manganese and, optionally, 0.01 to 5 percent cobalt. Also, a method for making the alloy in which manganese is added to a melt containing nickel, boron, iron, and copper in order to eliminate any gaseous oxygen, following which step the aluminum can be added.
