COPPER ALLOY DATA SHEET

 

 

 

 

C63000

 

Aluminum Nickel Bronze C63000 is a special high strength copper aluminum alloy containing 81% copper, 10% aluminum, 5% nickel, 3% iron and 1% manganese.  It has high strength, hardness and corrosion resistance, as well as toughness and good wear resistance.

 

Hot Working:  The alloy is readily hot worked.  It is hot forged and machined into engineering parts.  Forgeability rating is 75.

 

Cold Working:  C63000 cannot be cold worked extensively due to its rapid work hardening rate.

 

Joining and Fabrication:  Soldering and oxyacetylene welding are not recommended.  Brazing is fair.  Gas shielded and coated metal arc welding are good, as are spot, seam and butt-welding.

 

Applications:  Valve parts:  seats, guides, balls, stems.  Pump parts:  shafts, gears.  Bearings, bushing, nuts, bolts, plumbing parts.

 

Applicable Specifications:  ASTM B150 and AMS 4640 for rod, ASTM B124 for forging rod.

 

Standard Forms Available:  Rod and forging rod.  For other forms, please consult Ansonia Copper & Brass, Inc.
