Abstract: 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 &ggr;′ 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.
