Aluminum alloys have strong corrosion resistance. They are sensitive to high temperatures ranging between 200 and 250°C (392 and 482°F), and can lose some of their strength.
UNS C17510 beryllium copper alloys are available in mill hardened tempers and heat treatable and ductile tempers. These alloys have moderate strength and about 50% IACS conductivity.
Bronzes are bearing materials comprising a wide range of properties derived from a variety of compositions and alloys. This data sheet will discuss the chemical composition, physical and mechanical properties and designations of UNS C93200 bearing bronzes.
