Abstract

This article reports on the development of a nickel-aluminum bronze alloy with a low magnetic permeability in combination with good mechanical properties, a high corrosion resistance, and corrosion-fatigue strength. Investigations have revealed that the ferromagnetism of the iron-rich k phase can be reduced by use of an addition while maintaining a fine grain structure. This has resulted in a new nickel-aluminum bronze alloy with low magnetic properties. The properties of this new alloy have been measured and are compared with those of commercial nickel-aluminum bronzes.
