Polished Leaded Bronze Alloys

Listing ID #6850325

Leaded bronze alloys are a group of copper-based alloys that contain lead as a primary alloying element. These alloys are known for their excellent machinability, good wear resistance, and low friction properties, making them suitable for use in various applications that require parts to operate smoothly and efficiently.
Some common leaded bronze alloys include:
C93200: also known as SAE 660, this alloy contains 81% copper, 7% tin, and 7% lead, and is often used for bearings and bushings.
C93700: this alloy contains 83% copper, 7% tin, and 7% lead, and is often used for bearings, gears, and valve components.
C93800: this alloy contains 81% copper, 7% tin, 7% lead, and 3% zinc, and is often used for bushings and bearings that require high strength and wear resistance.
C94100: this alloy contains 81% copper, 6% tin, 6% lead, and 7% zinc, and is often used for bearings and bushings that require good corrosion resistance.
Leaded bronze alloys are created through the process of melting and casting, and can be further modified with the addition of other elements, such as aluminum, nickel, and silicon, to improve specific properties. However, leaded bronze alloys are not recommended for applications that involve contact with drinking water or food, as lead can leach out and cause health issues.
