C67500

C67500 possesses good torsional properties and general corrosion resistance. Manganese bronze withstands exposure to dry gases, dilute alkalis, sulphides, and most organic solvents and acids. Though C67500 has common resistance, contact with ammonia, mercury, and most chlorine gas should be avoided.
