FCW 100
Aluminium bronze alloy, resistant to corrosion in air to 300°C and to marine corrosion
Description & applications
• Aluminium bronze alloy, resistant to corrosion in air to 300°C and to marine corrosion.
• Good resistance to metal-metal abrasion under heavy compressive stresses.
• Retains its mechanical properties to 200°C.
• Deposit not susceptible to cracking.
APPLICATIONS
• May be used both for assembly work and for surfacing.
• Suitable for joining copper base alloys to each other and to iron base.
• Used for constructing machines, chemical installations and in marine constructions.
• Surfacing of slides and slideways, roller guides, valves and pumps.
• Defect repairs in aluminium bronze castings.
• Underlayer for more highly alloyed FCW (300 and 400 series) where there is a risk of cracking.
