Description
C67420 is a distinct brass alloy known for its exceptional wear resistance, primarily attributed to the presence of embedded silicides within its structure. This alloy finds valuable application in the manufacturing of slide bearings and valve guides, as well as serving as a material of choice for construction components in the field of mechanical engineering. Furthermore, C67420 is particularly well-suited for use in hot stamped parts where elevated mechanical strength and enhanced wear resistance are essential attributes.
