Specials – High-Performance Alloys for Unique Needs

Special alloys, like Brasses, Bronzes, and other Copper-based alloys, represent an economically feasible choice due to their unique combination of properties, which are essential for both corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant applications, combined with excellent workability. Due to their ability to withstand both mechanical wear and corrosion,these alloys offer significant long-term advantages. They reduce the need for frequent replacements and maintenance, leading to lower operational costs and improved operational efficiency. These alloys combine corrosion resistance and wear resistance with a high degree of manufacturability, which is essential in production processes.

Corrosion-Resistant Brass Alloys:

Various alloys are known for their excellent resistance to stress corrosion, which is crucial in structural applications where mechanical stresses and exposure to aggressive environments such as seawater come together. Additionally, they offer excellent dezincification resistance, meaning they do not easily lose their zinc components under corrosive conditions, ensuring longer lifespans and reliable performance in critical maritime and industrial applications.

Naval Bronzes:

  • C46400 / CuZn36Sn1 / CW719R / J461, J463, 73 / CZ112, CZ113, CZ133
  • C48500 / CuZn34Pb2Sn1
  • CW721R / CZ114 / CuZn40MnPbAlFeSn
  • CW722R / CZ115 / CuZn40MnPbFeSn

Brass and Copper Alloys with High-Quality Tribological Properties (Wear Resistance):

Various types of alloys offer excellent dry-running properties and low friction resistance. These properties make them ideal for applications where lubrication is difficult or impractical, such as in bearings and wear parts. They provide good resistance to abrasive wear, making them suitable for sliding bearings, gears, and other components subjected to intensive mechanical stress. Additionally, they exhibit good resistance to adhesion when in contact with other materials, helping to reduce wear from metal-to-metal friction, especially under high loads and without lubrication.

Manganese Bronzes:

  • C67300 / CuZn36Mn2SiPb / J461, J463
  • C67600 / CuZn38PbSnFe
  • C67420 / CuZn37Mn3Al2PbSi / CW713R / CZ135

Aluminum Bronzes:

  • C63000 / CuAl10Ni5Fe4 / CW307G / J461, J463 / CA104

Dura Bronzes:

  • Dura Bronze
  • Dura Bronze Plus
  • Dura Bronze Alu

The ongoing development of special alloys focuses on further optimizing their properties, including improved workability, to meet the increasingly complex demands of modern industrial applications. As such, they remain a preferred material for engineers and designers seeking both technical performance and cost-effectiveness in a wide range of production environments.
