Based on the Unified Numbering System material N05500, the US Federal Material Specification of QQ-N-286 is a hardenable, high strength, corrosion resistant nickel-based alloy widely used in naval and subsea applications.
The world-leading material excels in performing to an extreme standard in demanding environments. In marine defence environments, QQ-N-286 is commonly used on submarine bodies, fasteners, bolting, pumps, valves, connectors and penetrators.
Copper Alloys can form its wrought nickel-copper aluminium alloy QQ-N-286-G material into a number of different formats from rods to bars and rings to plates. Understanding the different exacting requirements of a project, the team of expert metallurgists can alter the properties to suit different metals used in different end environments.
Typically created with the nominal composition of NiCu30Al, QQ-N-286 is a wrought copper-nickel which outperforms many other Federal Specifications.
