WINDO METAL maintains an extensive inventory of Materion spinodal alloy ToughMet 3 Copper Nickel Tin C729. Copper alloy 729 is an excellent alternative to nickel alloys, aluminum bronzes, and beryllium copper. C729 ToughMet alloys are anti-galling, free of lead and beryllium, and show excellent corrosion and stress corrosion cracking resistance in seawater applications. ToughMet (C72900) has exceptional high strength, excellent machinability, and is non-magnetic.
