Precision cold rolled strip and foil

These specialties include among others a new alloy e.g. BrushForm^® 158 (Toughmet^® 3). It was developed by Materion Brush Performance Alloys on the basis of a patented quick-solidification process EquaCast^®. These are alloys on copper basis with nickel and tin content, exposing exceptional properties. A field of application for BrushForm^® 158  includes the use of thin rolled precision strips, where mechanical strength, corrosion resistance and stress relaxation resistance contributed to the success of CuNiSn 15-8. After the forming process, the alloy can be hardened by the appropriate heat treatment, while the form of the manufactured products will almost not change (no distortion). This exceptional behaviour is connected with the metallurgical hardening mechanism, the so-called spinodal decomposition. Lamineries MATTHEY produces BrushForm^® 158 (Toughmet^® 3) strips, which are suitable for applications in the connector and watch making industries, for example. 

Lamineries MATTHEY offer also relatively large-sized bars, tubes, pipes and plates in ToughMet that are a perfect fit for friction-sensitive applications, the alloy ToughMet 3  CuNiSn 15-8. This alloy dispose of a multiplicity of unique features: Mechanical strength, similar to iron, outstanding wear and corrosion existence, as well as excellent frictional properties. These exceptional characteristics are successfully applied for products which are exposed to friction, for example in the aerospace and petrol industry. Lamineries MATTHEY offer relatively large-sized bars, tubes, pipes and plates that are a perfect fit for these friction-sensitive applications.
