Introduction
Aluminum bronze alloys are the alloys of copper with 5-10% aluminum in addition to some amount of silicon, nickel, manganese and iron. They are available in cast and wrought forms. They are stronger than tin bronzes or brasses with better corrosion resistance.
Copper UNS C95510 is an aluminum nickel bronze alloy that combines good abrasion resistance, ductility and high strength under severe operating conditions.
The following datasheet discusses the chemical composition and properties of copper UNS C95510.
