Description

The patented process gives AMPCO® M4 mechanical properties beyond the range of commercial nickel-aluminium bronzes, comparable to beryllium copper at a lower cost and without the beryllium copper industrial hygiene requirements.

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.

Application areas

AMPCO® M4 was initially developed as an aircraft specification alloy for gears in retractable landing assemblies, engine spacer bearings and other similar applications. It is rapidly growing in use where higher mechanical properties at elevated temperatures together with corrosion-resistant properties are required. Typical applications include aircraft landing gear bearings and bushings, bending dies (shoes and mandrels) for the tube bending industry, gear wheels and wear/guide plates, etc..
