In applications where their resistance to corrosion makes them superior to other engineering materials, Aluminium Bronze Nuts are most frequently employed. UNS C95200 through C95900 are the designations for castings made of aluminium bronze. Hex nuts made of aluminium and bronze, with copper serving as the secondary alloying component. Alpha solid solution and the iron- and nickel-rich kappa phase make up the microstructure of Aluminum Bronze Heavy Hex Nuts with less than 11% aluminium. Golden coloured lock nuts made of aluminium bronze are typical. The alloys are utilized in jewellery and architecture due to their golden colour and great tarnish resistance. Unless the aluminium level is above 11%, the beta phase cannot form because the kappa phase absorbs aluminium from the alpha solid solution. Aluminum Bronze Self Locking Nuts can be brazed, soldered, and weldable to a certain extent. Through heat treating, strength can be increased.
Aluminum bronze fasteners are essential elements in high strength applications such oil and gas platforms, underwater fastening, marine, high speed automotive, aerospace engineering, and marine. Hex bolts, heavy hex bolts, hex nuts, stud bolts, screws, threaded rods, heavy hex nuts, plain washers, split lock washers, dowel pins, countersunk screws, socket head cap screws, and specially made to order fastening components. Aluminum bronze fasteners in grades C61300, C61400, C61900, C62300, C63000, C63200, C64200, C95400, and C95600 are what we manufacture.
When it comes to different grades of aluminium bronze, aluminium makes up the majority of the alloying elements, ranging from 5 to 11 percent. In comparison to other copper-based alloys, aluminium bronze is the strongest alloy. High levels of aluminium and iron, along with nickel and zinc as other components, give aluminium bronze its strength. Cold work, precipitation of an iron-rich phase, and solid solution strengthening can all be used to harden this alloy.
