DTD197A Bronze

---

When commercial CA104 is not deemed fit for purpose, DTD 197A (BS B23) is another wrought alloy version of 10/5/5 aluminium bronze that deserves consideration.

DTD 197A is an aerospace engineering sector alloy. However, the material is also popular in the marine and chemical sectors due to the material's excellent corrosion and erosion resistance in seawater and other chloride environments. DTD 197A offers superior wear and shock resistance and is a high-strength alloy that retains its characteristics at cryogenic temperatures. The alloys machinability of the alloy is good to fair.

Benefits:

Typical commercial applications include:

• Excellent corrosion & erosion resistance
• Good resistance to shock loading
• Good weldability
• High wear and abrasion resistance

Not just for aerospace

The product finds extensive use in aerospace engineering applications, but DTD 197A bronze has a broader appeal. The maritime and petrochemical sectors are also beneficiaries thanks to the alloy's performance characteristics.

Applications

DTD 197A (BS B23) finds use in producing aerospace components, marine hardware, high-strength fasteners, pump and valve components, heavy-duty bushes and bearings and engine components.
