Description
- Greater component life.
- Less maintenance and downtime.
- Better finished products.
- Produced with a good surface finish to commercial tolerances.
- Can be used economically for volume-production applications.
AMPCO® 18 is a versatile, high-performance alloy. Its compact grain structure and high physical properties result from phase distribution and hot working during the extrusion phase, making it a superior bearing material that’s defined by good fatigue resistance.
Best used
For bushings, bearings, gears, worm wheels, valve seats and guides, pump rods and gibs.
Ideally suited for
Pipes, tubes, joints and other pieces used in process, marine or similar industries.
