Extruded and Drawn Rods

Description

  • A wrought aluminum-iron-copper alloy recommended for medium-duty applications.
  • Maintains mechanical properties at temperatures up to 315°C, with a machinability rating of 50%.
  • Can be hot worked at temperatures from 760° to 900°C and annealed between 595 and 650°C.
  • Delivers consistent superiority through the unique distribution of alloy microstructure, referred to as “AMPCO®-Phase”.

AMPCO® 15 is a consistently superior alloy over commercial bronze. This is made possible through its unique distribution of alloy microstructure, which results in excellent corrosion resistance to sea water and non-oxidising mineral acids. As a result, is recommended when higher ductility is required for cold working, and has a forgeability rating of 75%.

Best used

For cams, bushings, bearing retainer cages, valve stems and guides, sleeve bearings.

Ideally suited for

Medium-duty application involving wear and fatigue.
