Popular Bronze and Copper-base Alloys

COPPER-NICKEL ALLOYS

Copper-nickel alloys, like C96400, offer:

• Good cryogenic properties
• High thermal conductivity without loss in ductility
• Good corrosion resistance in marine applications
• Antifouling properties
• Low magnetic permeability

Copper/nickel alloys are ideal for:

• Navy ships
• Minesweeping equipment
• Pump and valve components
• Heavy-duty marine pump and piping applications

ALUMINUM BRONZES

Aluminum bronzes, especially when combined with nickel as with NiAb, offer:

• Higher strength and corrosion resistant than other bronze alloys
• Tarnish resistant
• Corrosion resistant in sea water

Aluminum bronze alloys provide low oxidation rates at high temperatures and low reactivity with sulfurous compounds and other exhaust products of combustion. As such, they are commonly used for:

• Plain bearings
• Engine components (especially for sea-going ships)
• Underwater fastenings in naval architecture
• Ship propellers
• Pump and valve components
