CuAl10Fe2
Our flagship alloy for universal use!
The addition of the element IRON enhances the mechanical properties to a high level, allowing CuAl10Fe2, known as Aluminum-Bronze, to be extensively used in the railway industry for over 70 years. Its undeniable qualities of robustness and reliability make it an essential alloy in all areas where stringent requirements are crucial. Due to its excellent mechanical characteristics, comparable to those of steels, coupled with its corrosion resistance and good conductivity, CuAl10Fe2 demonstrates outstanding long-term reliability and a complete absence of stress corrosion.
This alloy is gravity-cast into metal molds. The characteristics are improved through rapid cooling, thanks to the molds’ excellent conductivity. It is possible to overmold stainless steel inserts. Tight and consistent dimensional tolerances lead to reduced machining and a decrease in the weight of the parts.
Efficiency of Systems
The exceptional castability of Aluminum-Bronze allows for the development of new parts with complex shapes, ensuring reliability and system efficiency. CuAl10Fe2 exhibits a strength equivalent to medium-hard steel, exceptional resilience, a minimum elongation of 20%, without any alteration or loss of performance, making it a significant asset in various industrial sectors. Aluminum-Bronze get the ability to work under thermal constraints ranging from -250° to +300°, further enhancing its versatility.
