Alloy Grade UNS: CD2 – Non-Deforming Alloys

  • Overview

    CD2 is a non-deforming alloy specifically engineered to maintain dimensional stability under demanding conditions. This alloy exhibits exceptional resistance to wear and abrasion, ensuring long-lasting performance and minimal dimensional changes even when subjected to friction and repetitive stress. Its inherent stability makes it a valuable choice for applications where precision and dimensional accuracy are critical, such as gauges, fixtures, and components in high-precision machinery. CD2's ability to resist wear and maintain its shape under stress ensures reliable and consistent performance over time, making it a preferred choice for applications demanding dimensional stability and durability.

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%.

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.
