ToughMet 3 in the cast and spinodally hardened (CX) condition exhibits tensile strength up to 120 ksi and hardness up to HRC 34 in a Copper – 15% Nickel – 8% Tin alloy with excellent machinability.
General Characteristics:
Materion’s ToughMet is a solution for severe service material problems, by applying a unique process to create a fine-grained, uniform grain pattern. This promotes excellent dispersion of alloy elements for high quality, consistent products. Using spinodal hardening technology, Materion have engineered ToughMet to provide attributes beyond those typically found in a high-strength copper alloy.
Exceptional resistance to corrosion and cavitation.
Outstanding lubricity and durability in demanding applications.
Highly uniform composition in all product forms.
Uniform microstructure in a variety of wrought shapes and sizes.
