Metallurgy-Property Relationships in Cu-15Ni-8Sn Spinodal Alloy Robert E. Kusner, PhD, Marketing Manager Engineered Products, Alloy Products Group, Brush Wellman Inc.
Abstract: Spinodally hardened Cu-15Ni-8Sn alloy has long been recognized as a high-strength copper alloy with unique, complimentary properties. Recent advances have allowed the fabrication of large section components from this alloy for use in wear components for heavy machinery. Testing and field operation has demonstrated that, dependant on operating conditions, plain bearings fabricated from this alloy can outperform other copper alloys, bearing steels and rolling element bearings. The relationship between the metallurgy of the alloy and its superior properties will be reviewed and discussed.
Speaker: Robert E. Kusner, Marketing Manager – Engineered Products for Brush Wellman’s Alloy Products group, has responsibility for development and management of nonstandard product offerings in various markets including Defense, Energy, Oil & Gas and Heavy Equipment Bearings.
Dr. Kusner joined Brush Wellman in 2000. His experience prior to Brush Wellman included being a principal owner in a business that designed and built automated vacuum deposition systems.
Dr. Kusner graduated from Case Western Reserve University with a Ph.D. in condensed matter physics. His areas of expertise include metallurgy, phase transitions, computer modeling of physical systems, and vacuum, thin film coating technologies.
