This table gives your engineering, purchasing, or quality team a fast way to compare the source callout with the U.S. material starting point. It supports RFQ review; it does not replace the approved drawing or material specification.
| Item to compare | AB2 | C95800 |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum (Al) | 8.8-10.0% | 8.5-9.5% |
| Iron (Fe) | 4.0-5.5% | 3.5-4.5% |
| Nickel (Ni) | 4.0-5.5% | 4.0-5.0% |
| Manganese (Mn) | 3.0% max. | 0.8-1.5% |

Ranges checked against public BS1400 AB2 datasheets and C95800 composition references.
Where This Cross-Reference Helps
Typical sourcing cases include marine bushings, pump components, valve parts, propeller-related hardware, and corrosion-resistant wear components.
If your print uses AB2, include the full drawing, tolerances, quantity, required supply form, and inspection notes with the RFQ. That lets us quote the material and manufacturing route with fewer back-and-forth questions.
Related Specifications You May See
The same material family may also appear under these names or standards: CuAl10Ni5Fe4, CC333G, ZCuAl9Fe4Ni4Mn2, CAC705, CuAl9Ni5Fe4, BS1400 AB2, AB2.
If one of these appears on your drawing or purchase record, include it with the RFQ. It helps us understand the original specification and avoid quoting a material that only looks similar on paper.
Before You Substitute the Material
For marine service, verify the full specification, seawater corrosion requirement, certification needs, and casting method before approving a substitute.
Cross-reference charts are helpful for purchasing and maintenance teams, but they do not replace a formal material specification, mill certificate, or customer-approved drawing.
