Cast Bronze CuSn12Ni2-C (CC484K)
In the field of cast bronzes, CuSn12Ni2-C is a particularly tough, hard-wearing material with very high wear resistance. This material is also suitable for high sliding speeds and surface pressures and, thanks to the addition of nickel, offers very good corrosion resistance. CuSn12Ni2-C is also resistant to seawater.
We stock round bars in this material. For tubes as well as flat and square bars, we refer you to our extensive range in CuSn12-C.
