This site has some information about it:

http://automotive.copper.org/brake.htm

A Google search on <cupro-nickel brake> brings up lots of 
references and vendor as well as the occasional mention of Kunifer. 
My impression is that the alloy has better mechanical and 
corrosion properties than pure copper. If I can find 10mm line nuts, 
I'll see if my tube vender has this stuff and buy the next lot of 
center brake lines in that material.
