View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.CMW 353 alloy is a Ni-Si-Cr-Cu high-strength high-conductivity alloy. It has high hardness combined with toughness. This combination gives the alloy excellent wear resistance and makes it useful for flash welding dies, back-up bars, and bushings in current-carrying bearings when used in combination with CMW 3 (see Alloy Digest Cu-85) shafts.
