Common questions

What is C95400?

What is C95400?

C95400 Aluminum Bronze, also known by C954, is the most popular, all purpose aluminum bronze alloy. It provides high yield and tensile strength, good ductility, weldability and exceptional resistance to wear, fatigue and deformation under shock or overload.

What is the composition of aluminum bronze?

Aluminium bronze is an alloy, which consist of about 6% of nickel and iron, and 9 to 12% of aluminium. It has a golden color. The UNS C62500 copper alloy has good corrosion resistance. It is also commonly available as rod and flat products.

What is ASTM b505?

Standard Specification for Copper Alloy Continuous Castings This specification establishes requirements for continuously cast rod, bar, tube, and shapes produced from copper alloys with nominal compositions. Castings produced to this specification may be manufactured for and supplied from stock.

What is aluminum bronze used for?

Aluminum bronzes are used in marine hardware, shafts and pump and valve components for handling seawater, sour mine waters, nonoxidizing acids, and industrial process fluids. They are also used in applications such as heavy duty sleeve bearings, and machine tool ways.

What is SAE 660 bronze?

SAE 660 Bronze or C93200 as it also commonly known is a high-leaded tin/ bearing bronze. This Bronze has good hardness and strength qualities as well as good wear resistance, it also has excellent machining properties and anti-friction qualities.

How strong is Aluminium bronze?

Strength and Hardness of Aluminium Bronze. Ultimate tensile strength of aluminium bronze – UNS C95400 is about 550 MPa. Brinell hardness of aluminium bronze – UNS C95400 is approximately 170 MPa.

What is the difference between bronze and Aluminium bronze?

Aluminium bronze is a type of bronze in which aluminium is the main alloying metal added to copper, in contrast to standard bronze (copper and tin) or brass (copper and zinc).

How strong is aluminum bronze compared to steel?

Some aluminum bronzes exhibit strengths comparable to low alloy steels and many are stronger than most stainless steels. Furthermore, the alloys retain a substantial proportion of their strength at elevated temperature, and at low temperatures, they gain strength slightly while retaining ductility.

What is the strongest bronze alloy?

Nickel makes C95500 aluminum bronze one of the toughest non-ferrous alloys known. The alloy exhibits exceptional yield, compressive strength, high hardness, and fairly high elongation.

What kind of metal is c95400 aluminum alloy?

Concast produces C95400, C95500, AMS 4880-C95510 and C95900 aluminum bronze alloys as standard-stocked products in common sizes of rounds, tubes and rectangles. Aluminum in conjunction with iron and nickel acts as a strengthener in these alloys. All of the aluminum bronzes can be heat treated, further increasing tensile strengths.

Which is higher strength c95300 or c95200?

This is a higher strength alloy that C95300/C95200 and has greater wear resistance with the higher level of iron. This alloy is one of the most popular general purpose bearing alloys of the aluminum bronzes family in the USA which can also be heat treated to enhance the properties (C94500HT).

Is the ASTM B505 a continuous cast specification?

Conforms to continuous cast specification ASTM B505 and centrifugal cast specification ASTM B271.
