C63000 Aluminum Bronze is an extruded or forged Wrought Alloy that contains Nickel (nominal 5%). As an aluminum bronze, C63000 alloy has an excellent resistance to salt water corrosion and displays exceptional strength and toughness as well. C63000 is typically used where higher mechanical properties are required.

It is used in equipment for marine applications, such as:

• valve stems
• high strength bushings
• valve guides and seats
• gears
• cams
• ship propellers
• as well as propeller nuts and shafts.

Nickel Aluminum Bronzes in general are most commonly used in water applications because of their great resistance to corrosion in a variety of water environments. C63000's chemical composition makes it preferable to other engineering materials.

C63000/CDA 360 is a special high-strength aluminum bronze used in applications involving heavy loads, friction, and abrasive wear and corrosion. The addition of nickel increases the alloys strength without reducing its excellent ductility, toughness, and good wear resistance.

C63000 TYPICAL USES:
