Alloy Grade UNS: C95400 Aluminum Bronze

  • Overview

    A hard aluminum bronze alloy, MTEK 175 possesses unusually high compressive strength, very high resistance to wear and abrasion, very good antifriction qualities, and superior non-galling and non-scratching characteristics. MTEK 175 contains up to 11% aluminum. The copper provides a good anti-microbial properties as well.

  • Typical Uses

    Bushings, bearings, forming rolls and dies, gears, marine propulsion, pickling equipment, pump and valve components, seals, wear rings, and wear-resistant parts.

Non-Ferrous

Non-ferrous alloys are, literally, materials that are not iron-based. While others may provide non-ferrous materials of other materials, the MetalTek family of non-ferrous alloys are copper-based. In general, these materials deliver high strength, and excellent wear and corrosion resistance. They are often found in marine applications and also bushing, bearing, and gear environments.
Stainless Steel Parts

Stainless Steel

Stainless steels owe their ability to resist corrosion primarily to the presence of a passive film on their surface. Chromium is chiefly responsible for formation of the passive film. Iron ceases to rust at approximately 12% chromium content and resistance to oxidizing corrosives increases rapidly with chromium content up to approximately 20%.
Petrochemical Fittings

Specialty Alloys

Specialty Alloys comprise a broad group of materials that deliver properties for more demanding applications, use more exotic or expensive materials, or require special processes to manufacture. Where standard materials may not offer desired performance, specialty alloys (including those that are modified further) may be a sensible selection.
