SPECIFICATIONS SUPPLIED FORMS
This alloy is typically supplied as Round Rod/Bar
Commercial CA104
• Bar
• Rod
Bronzes are Copper-based alloys with the major
alloying element being Tin. They offer a combination of
GENERIC PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
properties such as high strength, hardness, corrosion
resistance and wear resistance.
Property Value
Copper-Aluminium alloys are commonly known as
Aluminium Bronzes. These alloys are a range of Density 7.58 g/cm³
Copper-based alloys in which the primary alloying
Melting Point 1035 °C
element is up to 14% Aluminium. The four major
groups of Aluminium Bronze are: Modulus of Elasticity 115 GPa
Thermal Conductivity 37.7 W/m.K
~ Single phase alloys containing less than 8% of
Aluminium. Electrical Resistivity 0.172 x10-6 Ω .m
~ Two-phase (duplex) alloys containing 8 to 11%
Aluminium. These alloys also frequently have additions
of Iron and Nickel to increase strength. This group’s MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
contains casting alloys AB1 and AB2, the wrought
alloys CA105, CA104 and Defence Standard alloys Property Value
(formerly Naval Engineering Standard, NES - NES 747
when cast and the wrought form NES 833). Proof Stress 400-530 MPa
~ The low magnetic permeability Aluminium-Silicon Tensile Strength 600-760 MPa
alloys.
~ The Copper-Manganese-Aluminium alloys with good Elongation A50 mm 15-5 %
castability. Hardness Vickers 170-220 HV
Alloy Defence Standard (NES) 833 is an Aluminium Mechanical properties vary widely according to condition (soft/half
hard/etc)
Bronze with good ductility and impact strength. It also
has superior corrosion resistance.
CORROSION RESISTANCE
Applications
This alloy has high corrosion resistance, particularly in
Aluminium Bronze to Defence Standard (NES) 833 is
marine environments.
typically used in:
~ Marine Valves It is immune to chloride stress corrosion cracking.
~ Pumps This alloy also has excellent resistance to cavitation
~ Weapons handling systems erosion.
~Couplings
~ Fasteners TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE
~ Gears
~ Marine propeller shafts This alloy largely retains its strength and hardness up
to 400°C.
It is also resistant to high temperature scaling at up to
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION 1000°C

WELDABILITY
Aluminium (Al) 8.50 - 11.00
This alloy is fully weldable by common welding
Nickel (Ni) 4.00 - 5.00 methods.
Iron (Fe) 4.00 - 4.50
Manganese (Mn) 0.50 max MACHINABILITY
Copper (Cu) Balance Machinability is poor rated at 30 compared to Brass
CZ121 / CW614N which is rated as 100.
