Overview
C95400HT is a premium aluminum bronze alloy that undergoes precision heat treatment to achieve exceptional strength and durability. This specialized process enhances its mechanical properties, making it exceptionally resistant to wear, abrasion, and deformation even under the heaviest loads. While maintaining good bearing qualities and elongation for flexibility, C95400HT offers superior strength and resilience compared to its standard counterpart. This combination of characteristics makes it an ideal choice for the most demanding applications where high strength, wear resistance, and the ability to withstand extreme forces are critical requirements.
Typical Uses
Applications subject to extremely heavy loads, such as heavy-duty bushings, worm gears, steel mill screw down nuts, marine propulsion, and other parts where wear resistance is needed. It is also used in aircraft landing gears and machine tools.
