Alloy Grade UNS: C97300 Nickel-Leaded Bronze Alloy

  • Overview

    C97300 is a high nickel-leaded bronze alloy. It is commonly called nickel silver because the material has a grey or silver appearance rather than the normal bronze color. Another alternative name is leaded nickel brass. It has excellent corrosion resistance, however, it has low tensile strength and a low melting temperature. This alloy does not respond to heat treating.

  • Typical Uses

    Steam applications in turbines and pumps, packing rings, seal rings, labyrinth rings, and valve components and fittings.

  • MetalTek Grade

    MTEK 12% Ni 410

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%.

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.
