Alloy Spotlight: C63000 Nickel Aluminum Bronze

- Nov 10, 2015 - by mrusso

Aluminum bronze alloys are important metals due to their excellent physical, mechanical, anti-corrosive, and wearing properties.  With the addition of nickel to an aluminum bronze alloy you can achieve an increase in strength without diminishing its excellent ductility, toughness, or corrosion resistance. One such nickel aluminum bronze alloy is C63000.  This high strength alloy is comparable in hardness to medium carbon steel.  C630 possess good anti-frictional characteristics and resists scaling as well as oxidation at elevated temperatures.
