Carpenter ACUBE 100 An Alternative Copper-Beryllium Alloy for Bushing & Bearing Applications

Carpenter ACUBE™ 100 alloy is a non-magnetic, cobalt-based alloy exhibiting high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and outstanding wear resistance.  Exposure to beryllium dust has been tied to a variety of health hazards. ACUBE 100 is beryllium free, eliminating the health and safety issues associated with beryllium-containing alloys.

Made by premium-melting and processing operations, ACUBE 100 has demonstrated excellent corrosion resistance to salt spray, nitric acid, acetic acid and humidity. Processing by warm working (work strengthen condition) produces a yield strength of 140 ksi (965 MPa) for use in applications which require superior resistance to galling and wear such as bushings, bearings and other rotating parts that are exposed to corrosive environments and/or subject to high stress and heavy loads.
