The bronze alloys are categorized by their most desirable properties they offer for specific applications. This series of blog posts will highlight each category and specify their advantages. High-lead tin bronzes: High speeds, low loads The lead content is above 12% and higher and are best suited to meet high surface speeds but with
Oil Hole: A single oil hole without any grooving is commonly used in short bearings with an L/D ratio of 0.5 or less. Oil will flow axially unaided to each side of the oil inlet hole by as much as ½”. The oil hole should be centrally located and in the unloaded area to ensure
Taken from the Primer for Sleeve Bearing Design, the following excerpt is valuable information for anyone designing aluminum bronze components. Important Features of Aluminum Bronzes Non-Sparking: The non-sparking characteristics make the aluminum bronzes suitable for manufacturing of tools, equipment for petroleum and chemical processing, in mine service, handling explosives and in gas equipment. Cold Working
Roll forming is a continuous metal forming process taking sheet, strip, or coiled stock and bending or forming it into shapes of essentially identical cross section by feeding the metal between successive pairs of rolls that increasingly shape it until the desired cross section is completed adding both strength and rigidity to lightweight materials. The
C630000 Nickel Aluminum Bronze is a great alloy for applications under severe loading conditions. C630 combines high strength and exceptional wear resistance. The addition of Nickel increases the alloy strength with diminishing its ductility. Also known as AMS 4640, C63000 is a wrought alloy. It maintains strong corrosion resistance and performs well at both high
Dairy Bronze is a general term for the Nickel Silver Bronze Alloy C97600. This cast bronze alloy contains 63-67% Cu, 3.5-4.5 % Sn, 3-5% Pb, 3-9% Zn, 1.5% Fe, 19-21.5% Ni, 1% Mn, and 0.15% Si. C976 Dairy Bronze has a relatively high machinability rating of 70. The term “Dairy Bronze” is derived from one
Application: Butterfly Valve Stem Bushings Butterfly valves are used to control and isolate the flow of liquids. The controlling method uses a disc which pivots on a stem. These types of valves are used extensively in the oil and gas industry. Many of these valves are located in sub sea environments which exposes the valve
Application: Take Up Idler Bushings – Heavy Duty Earth Moving Equipment Idler bushings are subject to abrasive wear, deformation, and contamination. Replacing a worn Idler Bushing can take a shovel out of service and cost thousands of dollars in lost production. For these reasons, maximizing service life of the component is absolutely crucial. C86300 Manganese
Often we receive requests for various Aluminum Bronze Alloys that reference a specification our customers might be unfamiliar with. We have created a cross reference table to help you understand the various alloys. Use the below table to find out which cast aluminum bronze alloy your required specification is designating. Also included in the table
