Alloy Grade UNS: MTEK 375 – Aluminum Bronze Alloy

  • Overview

    MTEK 375 is an aluminum bronze alloy specifically engineered for extreme wear resistance and strength. This exceptionally hard alloy exhibits unusually high compressive strength, making it capable of withstanding heavy loads and resisting deformation. Its superior wear and abrasion resistance ensures long-lasting performance in demanding environments where components are subjected to friction and impact. Furthermore, MTEK 375 possesses excellent antifriction qualities, minimizing friction and preventing galling or scratching in moving parts. This combination of properties makes MTEK 375 a valuable choice for applications where durability, wear resistance, and high compressive strength are critical.

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.
