PerforMet™ alloy from Materion is a nickel-silicide strengthened copper alloy with high strength and high thermal conductivity. It resists mechanical wear, corrosion and galling and has a low coefficient of friction when mated to other metals. PerforMet alloy retains its strength at elevated temperatures. It is non-magnetic and easily machined.
Applications Include:
- Valve seats
- Valve guides
- Piston rings
- Plain bearings
Forms Available:
- 1/2″ – 3″ Rods
- Other sizes and forms available upon request
