Alloy Grade UNS: C95200 – Highly Ductile Alloy

  • Overview

    C95200, also known as MTEK 125, is a copper-aluminum alloy specifically formulated for applications requiring a combination of ductility, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. With a composition of approximately 88% copper and 9% aluminum, this alloy exhibits excellent ductility, allowing it to deform significantly without fracturing, making it ideal for applications where flexibility and conformability are crucial. Despite its softer nature compared to other aluminum bronzes, C95200 maintains good wear resistance, impact strength, and fatigue strength, ensuring reliable performance under moderate loads and cyclic stresses. Furthermore, it offers excellent machinability and exceptional corrosion resistance, making it a versatile choice for a variety of demanding environments.

  • Typical Uses

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