Copper Alloys, Aluminium BronzeC95500

Aluminium bronze alloy with added nickel to increase strength.

C95500 is a nickel containing aluminium bronze. This enhances the properties of C95500 making it one of the toughest non-ferrous alloys known. It is used where higher mechanical properties at elevated temperatures together with corrosion-resistant properties are demanded.

It exhibits exceptional yield, high hardness and compressive strength. It is an excellent bearing material, with applications suited to high impact, high shock and heavy duty uses. C95500 also has good resistance to sea water corrosion, heat resistance, good machinability, and weldability.
