The mechanical properties of a copper alloy can vary drastically depending on the thermal-mechanical processing of the alloy during production or post production of the material. The temper designation system is used for all forms of wrought and cast copper and copper alloy, except ingot. It is based on the sequences of basic treatments used
One of the most common uses of a Nickel Aluminum Bronze Alloy is as the base metal for landing gear bushings. The high strength, ductility, and good abrasion resistance under severe loading conditions make Nickel Aluminum Bronze and ideal choice. Both commercial and military aircrafts use Nickel Aluminum Bronze bushings for many of the pivot

“Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.” Benjamin Franklin Recently I had the opportunity to attend the 2014 CBSA (Copper and Brass Service Center Association) Service Center Training Event at Mueller Brass Company in Port Huron, MI. The CBSA training events are great educational opportunities offered exclusively to
When is a washer more than a washer? When it’s a bronze thrust washer. Bronze thrust washers serve much more of a purpose than simply as spacer. Bronze thrust washers are commonly called thrust bearings due to their ability to transmit and resolve axial forces in rotating mechanisms. While sleeve bearings perform the duty of
