AMPCOLOY® 83 for Pump Thrust Washers in Aggressive Fluid Environments
Material Recommendation for Multi-Fluid Gear Pump Applications
For pump thrust washer applications in gear pumps handling water, methanol, ethanol, gasoline, and nitromethane, AMPCOLOY® 83 is the recommended starting point for evaluation. Its combination of hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance makes it a viable candidate for this type of demanding multi-fluid environment. A customer trial should be conducted to confirm that all application requirements are met before committing to full production use.
