PerforMet® Alloy is a nickel silicide-strengthened copper alloy with performance characteristics which enhance powertrain applications. The copper-based alloy includes nickel, silicon and chromium in the alloying mix.

Highly Conductive:

The alloy combines high strength, corrosion and thermal resistance with friction and wear resistance, enabling the product to resist increased pressure and temperature in high-performance engines. PerforMet® Alloy represents a highly conductive engineering material, significantly reducing the risk of hot spots in critical components due to effective heat dissipation. Taking the heat away from critical components prolongs life expectancy, improves performance and allows parts to function efficiently at the highest operating limits. The material is non-magnetic, easy to machine, and retains its strength at high temperatures. PerforMet® Alloy is available in rod and tube forms up to 4.5 inch in diameter (114.3mm), although other shapes are available on request.

Product Suitability:

PerforMet® Alloy finds suitability in various motorsport and automotive applications, including piston rings, valve guides, intake/exhaust valve seats and plain bearings.

Anti Galling Characteristics:

The product is highly resistant to mechanical wear and galling, offering a low friction coefficient when mated to other metals.
