Copper alloy, brass, bronze, electrical conductivity, and machinability guides.
T2 copper is the electrolytic tough pitch (ETP) pure copper grade most Chinese machine shops quote when an engineer writes “copper, high conductivity” on a drawing. In UNS terms it is C11000; where th…
Machining C75200 Nickel Silver: Composition, Work Hardening, and What Engineers Must Specify If your part needs the tarnish-resistant silver look of plated brass but must stay one solid alloy that can…
UNS C71500 — copper-nickel 70/30, written CuNi 30 and matching the European grade CuNi30Mn1Fe (CW354H) — is the stronger, more erosion-resistant sibling of the 90/10 cupronickel
C70600 (Copper-Nickel 90/10, CuNi10Fe1Mn) resists seawater corrosion, biofouling and erosion. Read its composition, temper properties, welding and CNC machining guidance.
C68700 arsenical aluminum brass (ASTM B111) is the go-to wrought copper alloy for seawater heat-exchanger and condenser tube, chosen for impingement-corrosion resistance. Here is what it is, how it performs, and how to machine and specify it.
C67500 manganese bronze is a high-strength brass for shafts, valve stems and worm gears. Compare composition, temper-dependent properties and CNC machining guidance.
If you are specifying a wrought silicon bronze for CNC-turned or milled parts that need good corrosion resistance, moderate strength, and tighter budget control than aluminum bronze, C66100 (C…
Take C65100 silicon bronze — a workhorse in marine fasteners and electrical connectors — and push the silicon content from roughly 1% to about 3%. Add manganese. The result is C65500, sometimes called
C65100 silicon bronze combines seawater-grade corrosion resistance, excellent TIG/MIG weldability, and moderate machinability — a practical alternative to 316 stainless and aluminum bronze for marine hardware, chemical vessels, and electrical swit…
When a design demands tensile strength above 550 MPa, seawater corrosion resistance, and the ability to handle sliding wear without galling, engineers often reach for aluminum bronze — and C64200 i…
If you are choosing between C63000 and C63200 for a turned or milled component that lives in seawater and carries heavy cyclic loads, spec C63200 when the failure mode you are guar…
C63000 nickel aluminum bronze combines seawater corrosion resistance with high strength and wear performance. This guide covers designations, mechanical properties, CNC machining challenges, tooling recommendations, and comparison with C95400 and C95500 for marine, aerospace, and industrial applications.
C61400 aluminum bronze (CuAl6Fe2): mechanical properties per ASTM B150, CNC turning and milling parameters, seawater corrosion data, and comparison with C63000 for marine parts.
C54400 leaded phosphor bronze (CuSn4Zn4Pb4) combines moderate strength with ~4% lead for self-lubricating bearing performance. Covers ASTM B139 tempers, mechanical properties, CNC machining parameters, and RFQ checklist for bushings, thrust washers and worm gears.
If your part needs both the electrical conductivity of pure copper and the chip-breaking behavior that prevents birds-nesting around a turning tool, C14500 tellurium copper is the practical answer. It trades only 5–7% of the conductivity of electroly…
C51900 CuSn6 phosphor bronze sits between C51000 and C52100 in strength and formability — the ideal grade when C51000 lacks spring force but C52100 is too stiff to form. This guide covers composition, temper selection, CNC machining behavior, and what to specify on your RFQ.
C21000 brass, a copper-zinc alloy with a nominal copper content of 60-63%, stands as a cornerstone material in precision engineering and CNC machin…
C17200 beryllium copper stands as a premier copper alloy renowned for its exceptional combination of high strength, excellent electrical and therma…
When it comes to high-performance electrode materials for resistance welding, electrical discharge machining (EDM), and other demanding application…
C12000 phosphorus deoxidized copper stands as a benchmark material in the copper alloy family, engineered specifically to overcome the limitations …
