Description

AMPCOLOY® 940 is a patented alloy which meets the demands of users of the RWMA class 3 alloys without beryllium. In the industrialized countries, stricter health and safety instructions on the use of noxious elements have forced AMPCO METAL to develop this new alloy. It replaces the AMPCOLOY® 95 in practically all applications.

Equivalent Materials

This material data has been provided by AMPCO METAL.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
