C63000 Nickel Aluminum Bronze is an exceptionally high-strength alloy engineered for applications that demand superior wear resistance and structural integrity under heavy loads. Known for its excellent performance in aerospace and naval defense, C63000 offers higher mechanical properties than standard bronzes, making it the premier choice for heavy-duty bushings, gears, and marine hardware.
At Standard Metals, Inc., we maintain a diverse inventory of C63000 in multiple tempers to meet specific engineering requirements, from standard industrial use to high-spec military applications.
Certified Specifications & Tempers
Our inventory is strictly managed to satisfy the following essential standards:
- ASTM B150: The current industry standard for Aluminum Bronze rod, bar, and shapes.
- QQ-C-465B, Am. 1: Federal specification for high-strength copper-aluminum alloys.
- HR50 Temper: We stock C63000 in the HR50 (as-rolled and stress-relieved) condition, providing excellent strength and stability for general engineering.
- TQ50 Temper: For critical applications, we stock the TQ50 (quench and tempered) condition, which optimizes the alloy’s microstructure for maximum yield strength and corrosion resistance.
- DFARS Compliant: Sourced exclusively from the USA or DFARS-approved countries.
Engineering Advantages of C63000
- High Load Capacity: Superior yield strength and hardness compared to standard copper-based alloys.
- Excellent Wear Resistance: Highly resistant to galling and friction, ideal for high-load moving parts.
- Corrosion Stability: Exceptional performance in saltwater and many acidic industrial environments.
- Thermal Stability: Retains mechanical properties and strength even at elevated temperatures.
Core Industry Applications
Because of its unique blend of strength and durability, C63000 is a staple for:
- Aerospace Hardware: Landing gear bushings, sleeve bearings, and actuator components.
- Naval Systems: High-strength fasteners, pump shafts, and specialized valve stems.
- Heavy Industrial: Precision gears, worm wheels, wear plates, and cam followers.
- Marine Propulsion: Propeller hub components and heavy-duty marine fixtures.
