QA5500
Nickel Aluminum Bronze
UNS Number :
C95500
Properties and Specifications
Aluminium bronze alloy UNS C95500 is a copper casting alloy comprised of copper-aluminium-iron and copper-aluminium-iron-nickel. Known for being anti-corrosive, resistant to bio fouling, and thermally stable, this alloy provides superior resistance to saltwater corrosion. It also withstands cavitation and erosion, boasts pressure tightness, is highly weldable, and comes in various cost-effective forms. The C95500 Nickel Aluminium Bronze is ideal for heavy-duty, high shock, and high impact applications and can be further strengthened through heat treatment.
Applications
Aluminium bronze alloy UNS C95500 is utilised in a wide range of industrial, oil & gas, and marine applications, such as Pickling Equipment, Valve Guides, Valve Seats, Pump Fluid Ends, Worms, Worms Wheels, Hot Mill Guides, Landing Gear Parts, Air Craft Components, Wear Plates, Welding Jaws, Glass Molds, Machine Parts, Sewage Treatment Applications, Valve Components, Bushings, Gears, Piping for Vertical Pump Columns, Firefighting and Fire Suppression Systems, Seawater Lift Pumps, Piping Layout, Flanges and Fittings, Discharge Elbows, Cooling Loops for Power Plants, Bronze Valve Bodies, Piping Systems, Desalination Equipment, Tube Sheets, Circulating Pumps, Pump Shafts, as well as Fasteners and Hardware for Cooling towers.
