Characteristics

Hot Working

The alloy is readily hot worked. It is hot forged and machined into engineering parts. Forgeability rating is 75.

Cold Working

C63000 cannot be cold worked extensively due to its rapid work hardening rate.

Joining and Fabrication

Oxyacetylene welding are not recommended. Brazing is fair. Gas shielded and coated metal arc welding are good, as are spot, seam and butt-welding.

Applications

Valve parts including seats, guides, balls, and stems. Pump parts including shafts and gears.
