The goal for this project was to create a heat treatment process that would allow for the redevelopment of a bronze alloy known as C969. This alloy is currently made by only one company in the world. C969 is a high strength copper-nickel-tin alloy with applications in oil, mining and aerospace industries as bushings and bearings. The project was sponsored by AW Fraser. AW Fraser is a world class Christchurch based producer and supplier of bronze alloys and brass extrusions. AW Fraser manufactures with 99% recycled material and produces parts that can be found in every country in the world. Hear Kyle and Philip's experience on working together on this Final Year Project.
