Nickel Aluminium Bronze Alloys Machinable Components for Enhanced Performance
The Strength of Nickel Aluminium Bronze Alloys
Nickel aluminium bronze alloys are manufactured by a process of mixing nickel, aluminium, and bronze to obtain a strong and long-lasting product. Such alloys have a wide range of resistance to wear, corrosion, and galling in extremely severe working environments, for example, in the marine, oil, and gas industries, and heavy machinery. Nickel, when added to aluminium bronze alloy, improves the mechanical properties, giving more tensile strength and resistance to deformation under load.

Applications of Nickel Aluminium Bronze Components
Nickel aluminium bronze components have various applications due to their unique combination of properties. They are used in:
- Marine Engineering: Owing to their excellent corrosion resistance, nickel aluminium bronze alloys become the demand for marine use, including shipbuilding, propellers, and seawater pumps.
- Oil and Gas Industry: The alloys have applications in oil rigs, valves, and various other parts that have to undergo exposure to aggressive environments. Strength and corrosion resistance are very important parameters in this industry.
- Aerospace: Nickel aluminium bronze components find extensive usage in the aerospace industry in landing gear and aircraft bushings where high strength-based resistance to wear is required.
- Industrial Machinery: Its improved wear resistance and machinability will make these alloys very suitable for gears, bearings, and any other component used in heavy machinery.
Nickel Aluminium vs. Aluminium Bronze: Key Differences
While it is true that both nickel aluminium bronze and aluminium bronze have high corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, the former makes up for the latter due to the addition of nickel for more demanding applications. On the whole, nickel aluminum bronze alloys have better toughness, and thus the suitability of such steels in applications requiring a blend of strength, ductility, and resistance to corrosion is ensured.
