‘Summary of Cast Bronze Characteristics Alloy Leaded Red Brass Tin Bronzes Leaded Tin Bronze ‘High-Lead Tin Bronze, High strength Brass Characteristics and Reasonable sranghh excellent thermal conductity, reasonable corosin resistance fo seauvater and bine, anc good machining and casting propertes. Lead content ensures pressure ighinase. Leaded Red Brass used asa low-cost Bearing materal when low loads and ow speeds are encountered Requires good, reliabe utreation and 8 moderately hard shat, Har, stong alloys wth good corrosion resistance, especialy agansl seawater, Moderately mactinabie.As bearing materials, they are wear ressant and rest pounding well Best or rgh loads, lw speeds Require good. reliabe lubrication and a moderataly hard shaft Higher tn concenttations improve strength, but a the expense of conformabiy and embeddabity. Lead improves machinbity in these tn bronzes but does not material lfact mechanical properties. The alloys are essentally ree-cuting versions of the tn bronzes, above, and have similar properties and uses. ‘Most commonly used bearing atoys, round in bearngs operating at macerateloa0s and ‘moceratato‘high speeds. Excotent for houncary-luoreated situations or where lubrication Uncertain. Since lead is insoluble in the sols phases, is persed in the matric as sralisoated ‘ebules. acting ae eral reservar o lubricant Increasing lead concentrations increase Cconformabilty and scoring resistance, but at he expense of reduced strength and pounding resistance, ‘loy G93200 is considera the werkhose aly of he series, Aloy 99800 has improved mactuning and ant-seizing properties. C3800 is noted for is good corrosion resistance against Concentrations of sun act below 78%. Aloy CG4100 is especialy good under boundanfubrcated conatons Alloys with high mechanical svengih, cod corrosion reitance and favorable castaoiy, a of low relabve cost Can be machined au, wih te excapton of C86400 and C8700, ar loss ready ‘machined than leaced compositions Brasses nave typicaly poor tibologicl properties, and nence as 8 bearing material tend to be usec Page 1Aluminum Bronze ‘Siicon Brass Copper Berylium Alloys ‘Leades Copper Lead Free Bronzes in non-real appicatons, When uted for hgh-trength bosrngs, alloys €86300 and C86400 require hardened shite and lable ibcant suppies, The aluminum bronzes ave characterize by high svength and excellent coresion resistance, Some ‘can be hea treated (HT). Physical properties remain good at elevated tomperatures. Excelent neavy duty Bearing alloys wih very good abrasion resstance and excelent resistance 10 repeated, severe impacts. Poor ant-eoizure propertes, relatively poor conformabity and embeddabiliy, hence require good able lbscaton, hard shat and proper shat aignmont with both shat and bearing machined to fine surtace fishes. Moerat-o-high srengh alloys with good corrosion resistance and favorable casting properties. Used or mecnanical products and pump components where combinaten of stengih and corrosion resistance simporan, Rolatvaly high-strength materials with good eleccl an thermal conduct. Used where bearings and bushings wth @ good comnation of strength and concuctvy are needed. Excellent heavy duty bearing alloys, but donot tolerate misalonment or city hircants and generalyshoulé be used against hardened steal ehats, with eo shat and bearing machined to fine suave rsh Ltvanigh-cas alloys for special purpose bearings. Alloys have elatvely ow strength and oor Impact properias and general require reinforcement. Excelent or toundar-ubrcated stations, Formulates to mimi the properties of he leaded aloys but without he sataty concame of aad Freton, yield and tenale sttengh and coresion resistance are all comparable to eaced bearng bronzes Page 2
