Metallurgical specifications, Rods, Tubes and Wires of Al Bronze C63000

General Characteristics
This aluminum Nickel Bronze C6300 alloy is a special high strength copper aluminum alloy containing 81% copper, 10% aluminum, 5% nickel, 4% iron, which is an excellent choice for applications involving heavy loads, abrasive wear resistant, friction, abrasive wear and corrosion. The addition of nickel increases the alloys strength without diminishing its excellent ductility, toughness and corrosion resistance. Typical applications for C63000 nickel aluminum bronze include aircraft landing gear components strut bearings, main pistons, trunnion bearings and similar vital components.
