C63000 / AMS4640
C63000 / AMS 4640 is the most popular American grade of nickel aluminum bronze. With a chemical composition of approximately 10% aluminium, 5% nickel and 3% iron, it offers high strength, hardness and a very good corrosion resistance, as well as toughness and an excellent resistance to wear, shock and abrasion.
C63000 / AMS 4640 is readily hot worked and offers a good machinability. The alloy displays good erosion and cavitation resistance in seawater and brackish water, together with a good resistance to dilute sulphuric, hydrochloric and non-oxidising acids. Columbia Metals stocks C63000 in the HR50 condition to meet the requirements of AMS4640.
