Alloy Grade UNS: C95900 – Excellent Wear Properties 

  • Overview

    "C95900 is a specialized aluminum bronze alloy specifically formulated to deliver exceptional wear resistance in demanding applications. Its increased aluminum and iron content contribute to enhanced hardness and durability, making it highly resistant to wear, abrasion, and galling. This alloy excels in situations involving forming, bending, and drawing dies, particularly when working with stainless steel, where its superior wear resistance prolongs tool life and ensures consistent performance. Its ability to withstand extreme friction and pressure makes it a successful replacement for hardened steel in specialized applications where wear resistance and durability are paramount.

  • Typical Uses

    A good material for forming rolls, draw dies, die inserts, and rings. Also used for bushings and machine tool parts.

Non-Ferrous

Non-ferrous alloys are, literally, materials that are not iron-based. While others may provide non-ferrous materials of other materials, the MetalTek family of non-ferrous alloys are copper-based. In general, these materials deliver high strength, and excellent wear and corrosion resistance. They are often found in marine applications and also bushing, bearing, and gear environments.
Stainless Steel Parts

Stainless Steel

Stainless steels owe their ability to resist corrosion primarily to the presence of a passive film on their surface. Chromium is chiefly responsible for formation of the passive film. Iron ceases to rust at approximately 12% chromium content and resistance to oxidizing corrosives increases rapidly with chromium content up to approximately 20%.
Petrochemical Fittings

Specialty Alloys

Specialty Alloys comprise a broad group of materials that deliver properties for more demanding applications, use more exotic or expensive materials, or require special processes to manufacture. Where standard materials may not offer desired performance, specialty alloys (including those that are modified further) may be a sensible selection.
