Leaded Bronze

Leaded bronze is a lead-based copper alloy known for its excellent wear resistance and excellent machinability. The addition of lead generally provides good lubricity and high plasticity to the alloy, which makes this material easier to form and process during machining, while reducing tool wear. Lead bronze is commonly used in the manufacture of bearings, gears, bushings and other components that require good sliding characteristics and reduced friction. In addition, lead bronze can maintain its properties at low temperatures, which makes it also found applications in refrigeration and cryogenic engineering. These properties of lead bronze make it one of the indispensable materials in the fields of industrial machinery, automobile manufacturing and precision instruments. However, due to the potential harm of lead to the human body and the environment, the use of lead bronze is gradually being restricted, and lead-free alternatives are being sought in some applications.

C92200 Leaded Tin Bronze is a versatile copper alloy known for its enhanced machinability and wear resistance due to the addition of tin and lead. This alloy is characterized by its excellent corrosion resistance, ease of fabrication, and ability to maintain dimensional stability. It is commonly used in applications that require self-lubricating properties, such as in the production of gears, bearings, bushings, and other mechanical components where resistance to wear and good electrical and thermal conductivity are desired.

C66100 Leaded Silicon Bronze is a copper-based alloy that incorporates silicon and lead, offering improved machinability and bearing properties. The addition of lead enhances the alloy's lubricity and ease of machining, making it ideal for applications such as bearing bushes, gears, and other components that require self-lubricating and anti-seize properties. Additionally, this alloy provides good corrosion resistance and strength, which is beneficial in marine, automotive, and general engineering applications.
