ALLOYS & BRASS

• 260 Basic copper zinc alloy that combines good fabrication and electrical characteristics

• 353 The addition of lead to this alloy makes it easier to machine, saw and mill

• 360 A commonly used brass that is excellent for machining

• 464 Excellent corrosion resistance and strength. Commonly used in contact

• springs, fuse clips, terminals and connectors.

• 220 Excellent machinability, strength and hardness. Also known as "commercial" bronze

• 316 Commonly used for cable clamps and many screw machine products

• 510 Spring tempered to resist fatigue. Used for springs, hardware and thrust bearings.

• 655 Often used in marine environments because of its good corrosion resistance from salts, acids and alkalais.

• 660 Excellent impact and wear resistance. Excellent for bearings and bushings.

• 954 A popular aluminum bronze that has excellent strength and hardness. Good for use in pressure bearing surfaces.

• SAE 841 Oil impregnated alloy that can be machined for close tolerances, used for self lubricating bearings and bushings

Copper

• 102 High purity, high conductivity with virtually no oxygen content. Malleable and easy to weld.

• 110 High conductivity, good corrosion resistance and excellent ductility. More than 99.3% pure copper. For a variety of general purpose applications.

• 122 Excellent for heating systems, oil burners and liquid transfer applications

• 172 Non-sparking and the highest strength copper alloy. Frequently used in aircraft bearings, drilling equipment, springs and terminals.

• 182 High conductivity and excellent strength are combined in this chromium copper alloy. Primary uses are resistance welding, electrodes, welding tips and holders.

• 1751 Highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all copper alloys.

• 400 Composition is 65% nickel, 32% copper and 3% iron. Also known as Monel. Resists hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acids.

Cast Iron

• Dense grain, consistent density and hardness, heat treatable and wear resistant, similar to ASTM A48, Class 83 iron, tensile strength is 40,000 psi, oversized to permit finishing.

Ductile Iron

• Fine grain, high strength, homogenous structure, tensile strength is 65,000 psi, oversized to permit finishing
