We are pleased to announce that our unique new, beryllium-free NC 25 and NC 50 Alloys, which have already been taken out patents, are now available for all the customers in the world.

There are no alloys anywhere on the market that can compare with these revolutionary new types of "environmentally friendly" copper alloys,which contain nickel, silicon and chromium,but no beryllium.
They boast uniform high hardness, tensile strength and yield strength,as well as high electrical conductivity. NC 25, with high tensile strength of 1 giga Pascal (145 ksi), is well-suited for machinery parts, and NC 50 features not only excellent electrical conductivity but superior thermal conductivity as well, and offers savings in lubricant cost, shorter holding time, and quality improvement in die cast production. Both offer long life due to wear resistance.

Principal Applications

• Plunger tips
• Injection and blow-mold fabrication material
• High-performance engine parts
• High-performance brake material

Another of the Big Three is currently evaluating this alloy, with hopes that its use will contribute to environmental protection.
And one of the largest die cast machine makers in Japan has been conducting tests of NC Alloy, which is well-suited for plunger tips.
One promising application for this new alloy is for moving parts that are used under heavy conditions, such as in Formula 1 engines.
Another is for brake material, due to the alloy's high hardness and conductivity, as well as its excellent wear resistance; NC Alloy was used as brake material in an amusement park ride in Tokyo, and demonstrated a life more than 10 times longer than conventional brake material!
Because of its superior characteristics, including high electrical conductivity and hardness, NC Alloy has been used for many other, small-to-large applications, such as welding LED crystal oscillator parts to lids for cell phones, resistance welding large anchors for ships, etc.
