C63000 Aluminum Nickel Bronze is copper, alloyed with nickel, iron and aluminum.  C630 demonstrates excellent resistance to abrasive wear, friction and corrosion.  Aluminum Nickel Bronze C630 is also ideally suited for applications involving heavy loads.  With the addition of nickel, corrision resistance and strength are increased without loss in ductility and toughness.  Aluminum Nickel Bronze 63000 is primarily available in wrought plate and bar forms.  Common applications include heat exchanger plates, aircraft parts and bushings.
