Aluminium Nickel Bronze UNS C63200 is widely used in various industries such as marine, aerospace, and defence. It is instrumental in seawater applications, such as pumps, valves, propellers, and fasteners. It can also be used in pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and bearings. It is used in landing gear components and bushings in the aerospace industry. Aluminum Nickel Bronze UNS C63200 is used in tank tracks and other high-stress applications in the defence industry.
One of Aluminium Nickel Bronze UNS C63200's outstanding properties is its corrosion resistance. The alloy's aluminium content leads to forming a protective oxide layer, which actively resists corrosion. Additionally, nickel and manganese in the composition enhance the alloy's overall resistance to corrosion. Aluminium Nickel Bronze UNS C63200 is also resistant to stress cracking and pitting.
Aluminum Nickel Bronze UNS C63200 can be heat-treated to improve its hardness and strength. A solution heat treatment at 1675°F and quenching in water can be applied. It can also be aged at 800°F for a few hours to maximize power.
Aluminium Nickel Bronze UNS C63200 can be challenging to machine due to its high strength and hardness. However, with proper tools and techniques, excellent results can be achieved. Carbide inserts and high-speed steel tools are recommended for machining. Cutting fluids is also recommended to minimize heat generation during the process
Aluminum Nickel Bronze UNS C63200 can be welded using various methods, such as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), and plasma arc welding (PAW). Before welding, the surface of the alloy must be cleaned and free of any dirt, dust, or oil. Welding should be carried out following standard welding procedures and practices.
