Alloy Grade UNS: C95500 – Non-Ferrous Alloys

  • Overview

    One of the toughest non-ferrous alloys, it's a high tensile nickel-bearing aluminum bronze that is characterized by ex­ceptional yield, compressive strength, high hardness, and high elongation. It’s an excellent bearing material suitable for heavy duty, high shock, and high impact applications. It has good resistance to sea water corrosion, heat resistance, good machinability, and great weldability.

  • Typical Uses

    Heavy duty bushings, bearings, gear blanks, form rolls, pump parts, wear parts, and aircraft parts.

  • MetalTek Grade

    MTEK 230

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.
