AMPCO® 26 – The Ultra‑Hard Aluminium Bronze for High‑Performance Castings
AMPCO® 26 is a patented hard grade aluminium bronze. Its exceptional hardness makes it a unique material. However, this extreme hardness means fragility and machinability difficulties. This alloy has very limited uses and machinability, but it gives exceptional results.
