SAE660 or C93200 is a leaded (Tin) continuously cast bronze and is a standard in the industry for light/medium bearing applications. It is suitable for various applications under medium loads. Has good resistance to seawater and brine enabling it to be used in the valve and pump industry.
View DetailsPB1 is a continuously cast material containing 10-12% tin and small amounts of phosphorus. It has high mechanical strength and has good conductivity and wear resistance (although wrought materials can outperform this). Also, with excellent corrosion and fatigue resistance. PB1 can be soldered and brazed.
View DetailsBS1400 : LB4 is a leaded bronze LB4 containing approximately 9% lead and 5% tin. Excellent machining properties, very good wear resistance and medium to good corrosion resistance.
LB2 continuous cast leaded tin bronze with good plasticity which maximises strength.
PB2 has a higher lead content than PB1 which gives an excellent resistance to wear.
CA104 is wrought high strength aluminium bronze, the commonly most used bronze on the market in the UK.
Used for its high strength and excellent corrosion resistance to sea water and other aggressive environments. Also has good wear and abrasive resistance the ability to withstand shock loading.
This is a nickel aluminium bronze similar to CA104 but manufactured to the requirements of the Ministry of Defence. The MOD stipulate a nickel content that exceeds the iron content to improve the general corrosion performance.
View DetailsOne of the American grades of nickel aluminium bronze. Containing around 10% aluminium, 5% nickel and 3% iron the alloy offers an inherent high strength and hardness combined with a very good toughness and an excellent resistance to wear, shock and abrasion.
Offers very good corrosion and erosion and cavitation resistance in seawater and non-oxidising acids. It also has a very good galling resistance and also offers a high retention of mechanical properties at elevated temperatures making this ideal for aerospace applications. Used typically in the Oil and Gas and Marine environments.
C63200 is a strong, corrosion resistant material that performs well at high and low temperatures. It also has a low magnetic permeability, making it ideal for use on instrumentation systems, seawater piping systems and marine propulsion units.
