8023: Automotive Hydraulic Brake Tube: The Case for 90-10 Copper Nickel Tubing

The results of extensive corrosion testing and 15 years of use by Volvo show that C70600 copper-nickel tube is superior to the coated steel tube used in today's U.S.-made vehicles. Reprint, SAE Technical Paper, March 1993.

8043: Copper and Brass Radiators Surpass 10-Year Corrosion-Resistance Goal

Test results reported in this publication show how E-coatings and epoxy powders can double, even triple, the service life of copper and brass radiators and prevent the onset of rapid fin corrosion in highly aggressive environments.
