Naval Brass refers to a copper alloy of around 59% Copper 40% Zinc and 1% Tin with a trace amount of Lead. This alloy falls into the subfamily for Brasses known as Alpha Beta or Duplex Brasses. These Alpha Beta Brasses are generally harder and stronger than other non-Alpha Beta Brasses. As its name implies,
If your application demands a bearing material able to withstand heavy loads, C86300 Manganese Bronze may be your alloy of choice. Also known as SAE430B, or just 430B for short, C863 is tough and corrosion resistant. This alloy is ideal for low speed applications that require outstanding wear characteristics. Keep in mind that this alloy
The Bronze Alloy of choice for worm gears is C90700 (SAE65) High Tin Bronze. This has been the predominant bronze alloy for gear manufacturing throughout the 20th century, and continues to prevail today. But what is it that makes C907 such a superior alloy for this application? To develop a clearer understanding of this trend,
