Copper alloys have a history of increasingly successful use as surface condenser alloys for shipboard and sea coast service where once through sea water is used for cooling. The early corrosion problems with CDA alloy 280 (Muntz Metal) and common yellow brass were alleviated for a time by the use of alloy 443 (Admiralty, Arsenical). However, as improved cooling efficiency required increased flow rates, erosion-corrosion problems led to the use of more resistant materials: alloy 687 (Aluminum Brass, Arsenical), alloy 706 (Copper Nickel, 10%), and alloy 715 (Copper Nickel, 30%).
