National Bronze & Metals, Inc. (NBM) has brought together a range of copper alloys, specifically for oil & gas applications so
as to provide you with one source to turn to for your ongoing requirements.
This family of copper alloys is used for a wide variety of applications, such as flex shafts, valve stems, pump shafts, BOP
parts, rock bit bearings and bushings, pump impellers, wear plates, marine hardware, valve seats and many other high
demanding applications where heavy loads, corrosion, conductivity and/or abrasion are issues of concern. You will find that
we have the right copper alloys that you and the entire oil & gas industry demand ready for immediate shipment to
anywhere in the United States or across the world.

| For most industrial applications, these alloys are considered to be pure copper. As such, they are best known for their highly conductive properties and usage in both thermal and electrical applications. These alloys are non-corrosive, highly malleable,and ductile. Uses include bus bar and heat transfertype applications. Download PDF Spec sheet for C10200. Download PDF Spec sheet for C11000. |

| 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. Download PDF Spec sheet for C63020. |

| This alloy is the most popular of the bearing bronzes. It has outstanding bearing properties at low and medium loads. Also, its 7% lead content makes it highly machinable. Many rotating parts of modern drilling rigs utilize this low friction, general purpose bronze alloy. Download PDF Spec sheet for C93200. |
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 Download PDF Spec sheet for C95400. |
