Relationship between microstructure and mechanical property of nickel-aluminum bronze alloy solidified at different cooling rate and heat treated

Nickel–Aluminium Bronze (NAB) is copper-based alloy, which widely used in marine applications because it provides high mechanical strength and low corrosion rates under turbulent flow conditions. Belongs to group of aluminium bronzes it contains 5–12 wt. % aluminium with additions of iron and nickel...
