C172 Beryllium Copper is used in a variety of industries. From aircraft bushings to oil field drill tooling applications, this alloy is utilized for its strength, corrosion resistance, and hardness. Depending on how the beryllium copper is tempered can change its physical properties. Specific tempers of C172 Beryllium Copper are needed for specific applications. For
Nickel Aluminum Bronze Alloys are used in a wide array of components in many different industries. Normally specified for their high strength, good wear and abrasion resistance, and excellent resistance to corrosion in sea water and many other aggressive environments. Throughout the years many companies and industries have developed their own unique specifications for the
Many of the standard Nickel Aluminum Bronze Alloys are heat treated per their alloy standard. The heat treated alloys are as follows: C63000 ASTM B150 HR50 AMS 4640 C95510 ASTM B505 AMS 4880 C63020 ASTM B150 AMS 4590 C95520 ASTM B505 AMS 4890 The reason for this is that heat treating these alloys can have
On modern CNC equipment, Nickel Aluminum Bronze is relatively easy to machine. Depending on the alloy, machinability ratings vary between 20 to 50 (with free cutting brass being 100). It’s still difficult to give exact machining guidelines, as the feeds and speeds rates vary depending and the size and age of CNC lathes used. This
Cast bronze alloys come in a number of different varieties each with their own advantages and disadvantages. The way that Bronze Mills are able to offer different properties is through the addition of specific elements in varied amounts to the alloy composition. For example, the addition of Lead (Pb) to a bronze alloy helps increase
