TOUGHMET® 3 Copper-Nickel-Tin

ToughMet alloys excel in resisting galling, corrosion, and wear, making them ideal for bushings and bearings. They outlast and support heavier loads compared to alternatives, minimizing unplanned repairs. Specifically, ToughMet 3 alloys, such as ToughMet 3 AT, deliver superior performance in aerospace bearings, heavy equipment linkage bushings, oil and gas components, industrial powertrain bushings, and automotive powertrain parts.

• Low Friction
• Galling and Wear Resistance
• High Strength
• Stable in Changing Temperatures
• Corrosion Resistance

ToughMet 3 AT Alloy (UNS C72900)

ToughMet 3 AT Alloy (UNS C72900) is hot worked and spinodally hardened, exhibiting tensile strength up to 140 ksi, maintaining this strength at elevated temperatures. Widely used in commercial aircraft, high-performance engines, mining, industrial, and heavy equipment, it’s also applied in oil and gas drilling hardware.

ToughMet 3 AT meets the following specifications and standards:

• ToughMet 3 AT alloy meets UNS C72900
• Rod is produced to AMS 4596, ABS 5849, MTL 4112, BMS 7-373 (Class 100 and Class 90)
• Tube is produced to AMS 4598 and ABS 5152
• Plate is produced to AMS 4595 (Plate)

ToughMet 3 CX Alloy (UNS C96900)

ToughMet 3 CX alloy is cast and spinodally hardened, exhibiting tensile strength up to 120 ksi and hardness up to HRC 34 along with excellent machinability. It is used for wear plates, bushings, sleeve bearings, linear bearings and thrust bearings in industrial, off-road, mining and heavy equipment. It is also used for oil and gas drilling hardware.

• ToughMet 3 CX alloy meets the UNS C96900 standard.

ToughMet 3 TS Alloy (UNS C72900)

ToughMet 3 TS Alloy (UNS C72900) in its cold-worked, spinodally hardened condition, provides tensile strength up to 150 ksi, exceptional fracture resistance, and wear resistance. This alloy is particularly favored in the oil and gas industry, oil & gas production, and commercial aircraft.

ToughMet 3 TS alloys meet the following specifications and standards:

• ToughMet 3 TS alloy meets UNS C72900
• Rod is produced to AMS 4597, BMS 7-373 (Class TS) with tolerances per ASTM B249-
• Tube tolerances are covered by ASTM B25
