C63000 Ams4640
nickel aluminium bronze. Containing around 10% aluminium, 5% nickel and 3% iron the alloy
offers an inherent high strength and hardness combined with a very good toughness and an
excellent resistance to wear, shock and abrasion.
The C63000 / AMS4640 also offers a very good corrosion, erosion and cavitation resistance
in seawater and brackish water together with a good resistance to dilute sulphuric,
hydrochloric and non-oxidising acids. It also has a very good galling resistance and also offers
a high retention of mechanical properties at elevated temperatures.
The C63000 is generally sourced by Holme Dodsworth to the high strength HR50 condition
to meet the requirements of AMS4640 grade.
