Copper Nickel Tin for Aerospace Bushings

Copper nickel tin for aerospace bushings combines strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance for landing gear and airframe parts. NGK Berylco France has been one of Europe's leading high precision processors of beryllium copper strip since 1971, and UK customers are looked after from the NGK Berylco UK office in Salford.

GMX 96 offers very high mechanical strength and excellent resistance to stress relaxation. GMX 215, an NGK exclusive, brings thermal stability and heat resistance above 200 °C, with elasticity that exceeds copper-beryllium alloys. Across the range, the alloys combine mechanical strength, thermal stability, corrosion resistance and friction performance, though electrical conductivity is lower than the Berylco beryllium copper grades.

Copper-nickel-tin is worth a look when a design needs strength and heat resistance but conductivity is less critical, or when a beryllium-free material is preferred. For high current contacts, beryllium copper still leads.

For springs that run hot, bearings and bushings, and parts exposed to friction and corrosion, the GMX grades often come out on top. NGK Berylco can compare both families against your specification.

Aerospace leaves no margin for error. A single commercial aircraft can carry more than 40,000 connectors, and every one has to perform for decades under vibration, temperature swings and corrosion. NGK Berylco's EN 9100 certification shows it understands what the sector demands.

NGK Berylco's GMX copper-nickel-tin range is a family of beryllium-free alloys built for demanding specifications on temperature resistance, friction and corrosion. Grades include GMX 96 (C72700), GMX 215 (C72950) and GMX 158 (C72900), supplied as strip and as rod and wire.

Every coil, rod and component is backed by certified systems: ISO 9001, the aerospace standard EN 9100, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. In-house testing and inspection keep properties consistent from batch to batch.
