Aluminum Bronze C61000
UNS C61000
Description
Aluminum Bronze C61000, also known as CA102, consists of copper with about 6.0-8.5% of aluminum. It possesses high strength and elasticity in air, fresh water, sea water and certain acid conditions. It also has high corrosion resistance and can be hot and cold pressure processed, electric welded and gas welded, but it's not easy to be brazed. It is widely used in architecture, fasteners and many other industries.
