DESCRIPTION
IS320HT1
SPEC SHEET
320 HT1 possesses good torsional properties and general corrosion resistance. Manganese bronze withstands exposure to dry gases, dilute alkalies, sulfides, most organic solvents and acids. Though 320 HT 1 has common resistance, contact with ammonia, mercury and most chlorine gas should be avoided.
