Overview
C95410 is a heat-treated aluminum bronze alloy that elevates the performance of the standard C95400 (MTEK 175) to a higher level. This specialized heat treatment process enhances its mechanical properties, resulting in increased hardness, greater tensile, yield, and compressive strength, and improved fatigue resistance. C95410 also boasts enhanced wear resistance and a reduced coefficient of friction, contributing to smoother operation and extended service life in demanding applications. This combination of superior strength, durability, and wear resistance makes C95410 an excellent choice for components subjected to high stresses, heavy loads, and repetitive cyclic loading where enhanced performance is essential.
Typical Uses
Bearings and bushings, liners, inserts, nuts, gears, marine propulsion, pickling equipment, and wear-resistant parts. It's also a frequent choice for aircraft parts and die set bushings.
