Description of material

HOVADUR® B 20 is a multiphase copper aluminium alloy with addition of nickel and iron (aluminium bronze). The alloy
combines high tensile strength, even at higher temperature and alternating stress, with high wear resistance as well as
good resistance to corrosion and cavitation resistance. HOVADUR® B 20 is resistant against sea water and has a very
good oxidation behaviour (no scale).
Due to the melting and casting procedure employed by SCHMELZMETALL, HOVADUR® B 20 shows remarkably less tool
wear in case of machining compared to other aluminium bronzes.

Processing instructions

Hot forming
HOVADUR® B 20 is very suitable for hot forming at temperatures of about 920 °C to 700 °C. According to the degree
and the kind of forming, heating to 800 °C up to 850 °C is sufficient. After forming, cooling of the material is recommended
at inactive air.

Cold forming
HOVADUR® B 20 is not suited for cold forming.

Heat treatment
After hot formings, a homogenizing and tension reducing annealing at a temperature between 600 °C and 650 °C
during 2 to 5 hours is recommmended.

Machining
In normal condition, HOVADUR® B 20 can be machined easily with standard hard metal tools. Material has a tenacious character.
Of all HOVADUR alloys, HOVADUR® B 20 is the material which is best suited for eroding. No special measures are
necessary for grinding and polishing. Surface may be coated according to all usual procedures.

Joining
HOVADUR® B 20 is well suited for soldering, but concerning hard soldering, a (small) loss in hardness is to be expected.
A very lowly melting silver brazing should be used.
HOVADUR® B 20 is very well suited for joining by welding. Build-up welding is suitable, too.
Attention must be paid to sufficient extraction and filtering of welding fume.

Application examples

Due to its attractive combination of properties, the alloy HOVADUR® B 20 is excellent for many applications. Typical
examples are highly strained bearings, guide bushes, sliding elements and wearing plates. Concerning moulds for
plastic injection, HOVADUR® B 20 is used in core slides, ejector pins and guiding elements.
Due to its combination of good resistance to corrosion, good strength, even at higher temperatures, and non-sparking
property, it is excellent for many applications in plant construction, such as chemical industry, oil/gas industry as well as
for offshore and marine uses.
