An unwrought continuous cast Cu--Ni--Sn spinodal alloy and a method for
producing the same is disclosed. The Cu--Ni--Sn spinodal alloy is
characterized by an absence of discontinuous .gamma.' phase precipitate at
the grain boundaries, ductile fracture behavior during tensile testing,
high strength, excellent wear and corrosion resistance, superior bearing
properties, and contains from about 8-16 wt. % nickel, from about 5-8 wt.
% tin, and a remainder copper.
