Characteristics and field of use UTP A 34 N is applied in TIG joining and surfacing on complex aluminium bronzes mainly on such materials with a high Mn content as well as on steel and cast steel by using a nodular iron rod. Because of the excellent resistance to seawater and general corrosion resistance, the alloy is excellently suited in the shipbuilding industry (propellers, pumps and armatures) and in the chemical industry (valves, slides, pumps) and is mainly for applications subjected to chemical attacks combined with erosion. Because of the good friction coefficient it is suited for surfacing on waves, gliding surfaces, bearing and matrix of all sorts. UTP A 34 N is very good weldable in the TIG process. The weld deposit has excellent mechanical properties and is tough and crack resistant. Very good chip removal machining, corrosion resistant and non magnetic.
