HOVADUR® B20 - Schmelzmetall

Vacuum Technology for Maximum Performance

Description of material HOVADUR® B20:

HOVADUR® B20 is a multiphase copper aluminium alloy with addition of nickel and iron (aluminium bronze). Even at higher temperature and alternating stress, the alloy combines high tensile strength with high resistance to wear as well as good resistance to corrosion and cavitation. HOVADUR® B20 is resistant against sea water and has a very good oxidation behaviour (no scale). Due to the melting and casting procedure employed by SCHMELZMETALL, HOVADUR® B20 shows remarkably less tool wear in case of machining compared to other aluminium bronzes.
