C95400 Aluminum Bronze (C954) - Per ASTM B505
Short Description:
C95400 Aluminum Bronze, also known by C954, is the most popular, all purpose aluminum bronze alloy. It provides high yield and tensile strength, good ductility, weldability and exceptional resistance to wear, fatigue and deformation under shock or overload. Typical applications include bearings, gears, valve components, wearplate and wearstrip. Conforms to continuous cast specification ASTM B505 and centrifugal cast specification ASTM B271.
