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.
