| Waukesha Foundry has developed a line of corrosion-resistant, nickel- and copper-base alloys that work in contact with stainless steel, Inconel®, Monel®, chromium plate and many other metals without galling or seizing. Approved by the FDA for contact with food, our unique anti-galling alloys are used in applications where daily cleaning or sterilization is required and the use of lubricants is prohibited. All anti-galling testing for requirements certification is conducted on site. Waukesha Metal 88 WM88 offers good strength and superior corrosion resistance. This proprietary alloy can be used at temperatures up to 500 °F, is ideal for use wherever close clearance with moving parts is required and can be machined with or without coolant. WM88 has low thermal conductivity and requires careful tool selection - generally, cast iron grades of carbide are the best tool materials. To ensure quality, we run anti-galling testing on every heat produced. WM88 Buy Back Program This program is a tremendous value to our customers. Since WM88 is a Waukesha Foundry proprietary alloy, we have the ability to recycle this material; therefore, we can buy back used rotors, plugs, drop offs and machine-segregated chips at highly competitive rates (substantially more than scrap prices). Waukesha Metal 23BI WM23BI is an anti-galling alloy with higher yield strength and hardness than our standard WM88. These characteristics help maintain a sharper edge on blades and similar components. It offers good corrosion resistance and can be used up to 500 °F. WM23BI is readily castable and machinable. Waukesha Metal 126 We developed WM126 as a copper base, anti-galling material for use in meat processing plants for form plates, plungers and vane pumps. WM126 is also well suited for gears, bushings and bearings. This alloy offers good strength and corrosion resistance and can be used at temperatures up to 500 ºF. Note: WM126 is not an Ni-base alloy. Waukesha Metal 3 WM3 is specially formulated for excellent strength and corrosion resistance. This food-grade alloy has a copper base and can be used at temperatures up to 500 ºF. It is well suited for homogenizers. |
