Cupronickel alloys, which consist of copper and nickel, are commonly used to construct seawater cooling pipes on marine vessels.
One reason cupronickel is used is because of its excellent ductility, allowing it to be easily shaped into complex piping networks.
Give one other reason why cupronickel alloys are suitable for seawater piping systems.
