ToughMet® 3 AT alloy is a wrought, spinodally hardened copper alloy engineered for high strength and hardness, combined with low friction and exceptional wear and corrosion resistance. In boundary-lubricated plain bearing applications such as small-end bearings, ToughMet alloy outperforms other bronze alloys including C17200 copper beryllium. ToughMet alloy bushings can replace needle roller bearings, improving safety and durability and reducing assembly time with equal or better performance.
