How do you heat treat 954 bronze?

954 Bearing Bronze can be stress relieved at 600°F. The time at temperature is one hour per 1 inch of section thickness. This solution heat treat temperature is between 1600°-1675°F. The time at temperature is one hour per inch of section thickness.

What is C954 bronze?

C95400 Aluminum Bronze, also known by C954, is the most popular, all purpose aluminum bronze alloy. It provides high yield and tensile strength, good ductility, weldability and exceptional resistance to wear, fatigue and deformation under shock or overload.

What happens to bronze when you heat it?

Heat treatment increases the tensile and yield strength and hardness of the alloy but the elongation is somewhat reduced.

Can bronze be quenched?

Quenching and Tempering Nickel Aluminum Bronze reacts similarly to alloyed tool steels in respect to heat treatment procedures. A martensitic phase is formed in the alloy when Nickel Aluminum Bronze is water quenched from elevated temperatures.

Can bronze be machined?

Machinability. Bearing bronze has excellent machinability. The use of coolant/lubricant is recommended while working as the metal will get very hot. It is also recommended to use tipped machine bits and tools to get the best results and finish for your project.

What is Ampco bronze?

A highly polishable, high-strength and better alternative to brass with better grain. Higher mechanical properties without lead and cleaner trace elements. High wear characteristics and corrosion resistance.

What is c954 material?

954 is an all purpose aluminum bronze alloy that offers exceptional performance in bearings, bushings, and other applications where abrasion resistance and high strength are required. Characteristics of 954 Bronze include high tensile strength, yield strength, and good ductility.
