-
-
ToughMet 3 and Cu-14Ni-3Al are both high strength copper alloys commonly used in the marine and oil and gas industries, but significant differences are realized when their properties are compared. This Technical Review discusses those differences that make ToughMet an advantageous replacement for the nickel bronze alloy in demanding applications and severe environments.

Transverse Tensile Properties of ToughMet® 3 Alloy Rod
-
A series of tensile tests were performed to determine transverse tensile properties of Materion’s ToughMet 3 rod products, 2.5” to 6.0” diameter rods of CX105, AT90, AT110, TS95, TS120U, TS130, and TS160U tempers. Each sample was tested according to ASTM-E8-16a to determine average transverse tensile strength, 0.2% offset yield strength, total % elongation.

A Guide to Galvanic Corrosion
-
Galvanic can occur when two or more dissimilar metals contact each other in an electrolytic environment. This can occur in seawater, chemical processing, or in automotive fasteners and connectors exposed to road salt spray. It is important to understand the relative position of metals on the galvanic series when they will be coupled near an electrolytic solution.
