1. Marine Bushing Case Study - The South Ferry Company

   South Ferry decided to use ToughMet® 3 CX105 for the front, central and rear bushings in their ferry. After two years, the copper nickel tin bushings lasted two to three times longer than previously used bronze or steel bushings and allowed the boats to stay in the water longer between overhauls, minimizing both expense and time out of service.

2. Marine Winch Case Study - Markey Machinery Company

   Markey Machinery was searching for a winch material that was strong, but that also had a low coefficient of friction.  ToughMet® allowed Markey to produce a high performance winch suitable for operation in the open sea with heavy loads on hawsers.  ToughMet® provided higher hardness, higher strength and solved galling issues.
