Alloy Grade UNS: C95300 Versatile Alloys

  • Overview

    C95300 stands out as a versatile copper-based alloy renowned for its remarkable combination of strength, ductility, and wear resistance. This alloy exhibits high strength, enabling it to withstand substantial loads and forces without permanent deformation. Furthermore, it possesses good ductility, allowing it to be shaped or formed into various configurations without fracturing. C95300 is also recognized for its unusual toughness, meaning it can absorb significant impact energy and resist cracking or breaking. Its exceptional wear resistance ensures long-lasting performance in applications involving friction and abrasion. This unique blend of properties makes C95300 a valuable choice for demanding applications where a combination of strength, ductility, toughness, and wear resistance is crucial.

Non-Ferrous

Non-ferrous alloys are, literally, materials that are not iron-based. While others may provide non-ferrous materials of other materials, the MetalTek family of non-ferrous alloys are copper-based. In general, these materials deliver high strength, and excellent wear and corrosion resistance. They are often found in marine applications and also bushing, bearing, and gear environments.
Stainless Steel Parts

Stainless Steel

Stainless steels owe their ability to resist corrosion primarily to the presence of a passive film on their surface. Chromium is chiefly responsible for formation of the passive film. Iron ceases to rust at approximately 12% chromium content and resistance to oxidizing corrosives increases rapidly with chromium content up to approximately 20%.
Petrochemical Fittings

Specialty Alloys

Specialty Alloys comprise a broad group of materials that deliver properties for more demanding applications, use more exotic or expensive materials, or require special processes to manufacture. Where standard materials may not offer desired performance, specialty alloys (including those that are modified further) may be a sensible selection.
