The aluminum bronzes are a family of copper-based alloys offering a combination of mechanical and chemical properties unmatched by any other alloy series.Used for welding aluminum bronze plate fabrications and for joining dissimilar metals such as cast iron, carbon steels, copper, bronze and copper-nickel materials. Applications include wear surface reconstruction, casting repair and general maintenance, and galvanized sheet metal fabrication when high strength welds are required.
Alloy | Chemical Composition(%) | Solidus | Liquidus | Application | AWS A5.7 | ISO17672 | BS EN 14640 | DIN 1733 |
CuAl8 | Cu:Bal Si:0.1 Zn:0.2 Al:7.5 Mn:0.5 Other:0.5 | 1030℃ | 1040℃ | Prefer for joining welding of pure and austenitic steel sheet. Maintain good temperament flow and creates seamless welding line. Suggested for the joining welding of copper with steel,particularly suitable for machinery and ship building industry. | ERCuAl-A1 | Cu 561 | CuAl8 | SG-CuAl8 |
CuAl10 | Cu:Balance Si:0.1 Al:9.5 Fe:1.0 Other:≤0.5 | 1030℃ | 1040℃ | Particularly suitable for the overlay welding of copper,aluminum,and nickel material with steel.
