A data access assembly with a load arm formed from an Mn—Cu alloy is disclosed.
The load arm may be supported by and actuator arm formed from a common Mn—Cu
damping alloy, which has a composition (X)Fe—(A)Mn—(B)Cu—(C)Ni.
In one embodiment, X is substantially 73, A is substantially 20, B is substantially
5 and C is substantially 2, wherein A, B, C and X represent the weight percent
of the respective elements in the composition.
