Non-Sparking Tools
Our Spinodal materials are custom-engineered for safety hand tools that are non-sparking, non-magnetic and highly corrosion resistant. They benefit from age hardening techniques that further increase their strength and hardness for high performance safety tools.
Alloys
AM 388™ (UNS C72650) is a copper based Spinodal alloy that offers non-sparking, non-magnetic and high strength properties. AM 388™ is accepted as a safe replacement material for Beryllium Copper alloy.
Safety Tool Applications
Engineered for an array of hand-held non-sparking safety tools including:
- Corrosion resistant wrenches
- Hammers, axes and picks
- Corrosion resistant screwdrivers, pliers and spatulas
Advantages for Safety Hand Tools
- No carcinogenic elements - only copper/nickel/tin
- Non-sparking and non-magnetic
- Combination of high strength and formability
- Low distortion during aging, no fixturing required
- Excellent corrosion resistance
