- Ni content and the Sn content of the invention are each within the limits of 2.0 to 10.0 wt%.
- a Ni content and / or an Sn content of less than 2.0% by weight would result in too low strength values and hardness values.
- the running properties of the alloy would be at
- the toughness properties of the alloy according to the invention would deteriorate rapidly, whereby the dynamic load capacity of the components is reduced from the material.
- the content of nickel and tin in the range from 3.0 to 9.0 wt .-% proves to be advantageous.
- the range of 4.0 to 8.0 wt% is particularly preferable for the content of the elements nickel and tin.
- Copper materials are known to increase the degree of spinodal segregation of the microstructure as the Ni / Sn ratio of the element contents increases in weight percent of the elements nickel and tin.

- Mg borides due to the relatively low melting temperature of the element magnesium, no clearly analyzable content of Mg borides could be determined in the alloy according to the invention. Nevertheless, it is considered possible that, under certain process conditions during the production and further processing of the invention, Mg borides can form as further Mg-containing phases. These Mg borides can be present in the modifications MgB 2 and / or MgBi 2 in a proportion of 0.1 to 5% by volume in the microstructure as hard particles of first and second class.
- Cu-containing and Mg-containing phases are also present in the microstructure of the alloy according to the invention as further Mg-containing phases.
- these phases can be partially or completely replaced by Cu-containing and Sn-containing and Mg-containing phases.
- Cu-containing and Mg-containing phases and / or Cu-containing and Sn-containing and Mg-containing phases are present in the microstructure of the copper-nickel-tin alloy according to the invention.
- the effect of the crystallization nuclei as recrystallization nuclei and the effect of the silicate-based phases for the purpose of wear protection and corrosion protection can only achieve a technically significant degree in the alloy according to the invention if the silicon content is at least 0.01% by weight and the boron Content is at least 0.002 wt .-%. exceeds on the other hand, the Si content of 1, 5 wt .-% and / or the B content of 0.45 wt .-%, this leads to a deterioration of the casting behavior.

- the content of phosphorus of the alloy according to the invention is 0.004 to 0.3 wt .-%.
- the P content no longer contributes to ensuring sufficient castability of the invention. If the phosphorus content of the alloy assumes values above 0.3% by weight, on the one hand an excessively high Ni content is bound in the form of phosphides, whereby the spinodal separability of the microstructure is reduced. On the other hand, would be at a P-content above 0.3 wt .-% worsen the hot workability of the invention significantly. For this reason, a P content of 0.01 to 0.3 wt .-% has proved to be particularly advantageous. Preferred is a P content in the range of 0.02 to 0.2 wt%.
- the alloying element phosphorus is of very great importance for another reason. Together with the required maximum
