| Description A continuous cast (UNS-C95900) aluminum-iron-copper
        alloy recommended for heavier-duty applications involving compressive wear and high
        abrasion, especially where no impact is present. Uses include: die rings, forming rolls, inserts, wiping blocks, cam followers, pilot
        bushings, dies and drill jig bushings. Also, offers proven performance in plastic mold
        applications - ejector sleeves and bushings, guide pin and leader pin bushings, wear
        plates, gibs. MoldStar®21 alloy will maintain mechanical
        properties at temperatures up to 6000F and has a
        machinability rating of 20%. The alloy provides corrosion resistance to non-oxidizing
        mineral acids. Can be welded with both gas-shielded and shielded metal-arc processes.
        Brazing, soldering and oxyfuel gas welding are not recommended.  Cold working is not recommended. Hot formability is good with a forgeability rating of
        75%. MoldStar®21 alloy can be hot worked at
        temperatures from 13750 to 15500F
        and annealed between 11000 and 12000F.
         The consistent superiority of MoldStar®21
        alloy over commercial bronze is due, in large part, to the unique distribution of the
        alloy microstructure. Chemistry
