C95410 Aluminum Bronze Bushing

C95410 aluminum bronze alloy is a high-strength copper-based alloy that is commonly used for continuous cast bronze bushings. Here are the key details about this alloy and its applications:Composition and PropertiesC95410 aluminum bronze alloy has the following composition:

• Copper (Cu): 83.00% minimum
• Iron (Fe): 3.00-5.00%
• Nickel (Ni): 1.50-2.50%
• Aluminum (Al): 10.00-11.50%
• Manganese (Mn): 0.50% maximum

Key properties of C95410 include:

• Density: 0.269 lb/in³ (7.45 g/cm³) at 68°F (20°C)
• Machinability rating: 60
• High strength and wear resistance
• Good corrosion resistance

Mechanical PropertiesAccording to ASTM B505/B505M-23 standards, C95410 has the following mechanical properties:

• Tensile strength (min): 85 ksi (586 MPa)
• Yield strength at 0.5% extension (min): 32 ksi (221 MPa)
• Elongation in 2 inches (min): 12%
• Typical Brinell hardness: 170 BHN

Continuous Cast ProcessThe continuous casting process for C95410 bronze bushings offers several advantages:

1. Highly uniform and dense structure
2. Fine, uniform microstructure due to fast, controlled cooling
3. Increased physical strength of the material
4. Longer and more reliable service life for bushings

ApplicationsC95410 aluminum bronze alloy is suitable for various industrial applications, including:

• Bearings and bushings
• Gears
• Valve components
• Pickling baskets and hooks
• Worms and spur gears

The alloy’s high strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance make it particularly well-suited for medium to heavy load applications, impact conditions, and environments with elevated temperatures.FabricationC95410 can be fabricated using various techniques:

• Soldering: Good
• Brazing: Good
• Gas shielded arc welding: Good
• Coated metal arc welding: Good

However, oxyacetylene welding is not recommended for this alloy.Heat TreatmentC95410 can be heat-treated to further increase its tensile strength. The heat-treated version (C95410HT) offers the following improved properties:

• Tensile strength (min): 95 ksi (655 MPa)
• Yield strength at 0.5% extension (min): 45 ksi (310 MPa)
• Elongation in 2 inches (min): 10%
• Typical Brinell hardness: 177 BHN

In conclusion, C95410 aluminum bronze alloy is an excellent choice for continuous cast bronze bushings in demanding applications that require high strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Its ability to be heat-treated for even greater strength makes it a versatile option for various industrial uses.
