C46400 (ASTM B-21, AMS 4611)
Naval Brass - Lead Free
Available in solid bars, hex bars, flats, and plates
|
This lead free alloy maintains a machinability of 30% and posses mechanical properties better than regular brass. Typical uses are in seal glands, nuts, valve stems & seats. Its name "Naval Brass" stems from its marine application usage such as marine hardware, flanges, baffle plates, and end plates (Discs) for heat exchangers.

C10200 (ASTM B-187)
Oxygen Free Copper
C63020 (ASTM B-150, AMS 4590)
Nickel Aluminum Bronze
Available in solid bars
|
A special heat treatment process improves the mechanical properties beyond the range of commercial aluminum bronzes. This alloy is an extra high strength version of nickel aluminum bronze. It is used where parts require extra high strength and hardness with some ductility and toughness. Typical applications include rock bit bearing bushings and washers involving heavy loads, abrasion and high deformation. The extra high strength characteristics provide extreme wear resistance for extreme loads, abrasive wear, such as BOP parts, and wellhead components.

C86300 (ASTM B-505, B-271, AMS 4862)
Manganese Bronze
Available in solid & hollow bars and wear plates
|
This cast manganese bronze is typically supplied in continuous cast or centrifugally cast bars and tubes for high load bearing applications. This material achieves over 110 ksi tensile strength and an elongation of 14% minimum. It is excellent in applications requiring high strength metal to metal wear such as wear bushings, pump impellers, and linage bushings.

C95800 (ASTM B-505, B-271) "Alpha" Nickel Aluminum Bronze
Available in solid & hollow bars
and wear plates
|
|
This alloy is typically used for parts that come in contact with sea water. Bars can be supplied in a stress relieved condition so as to prevent "stress corrosion cracking." Typical applications are for vertical turbine pumps, propeller hubs and blades, and other marine hardware and fittings.

C95400 (ASTM B-505, B-271, AMS 4871, 4873)
Aluminum Bronze "9C"
Available in solid & hollow bars and wear plates
|
This is the most popular aluminum bronze and is used in a lot of different industrial applications. This extra tough bearing material is used for heavy loads with good resistance to impact and corrosion. Aluminum bronze has a lot of good properties and is the most readily available high strength bearing material. Additional applications include wear plates, mechanical guides, marine hardware, and valve seats
