C93800 Bronze Bushings
C93800 Bronze Bushings
Self-lubricating bronze bearings are engineered for applications where external lubrication is impractical. Solid lubricants are compressed and molded directly into the bearing to guarantee a maintenance-free product. No additional lubrication is necessary.

C93800 Bronze Bushings – Alloy Bronze C93800 Solid Bronze Bearing Alloy SAE67, Material Bronze SAE 67 CuSnPb C93800

C93800 high-leaded tin bronze bushings are a cornerstone of industrial applications where durability, low friction, and corrosion resistance are paramount. At BronzeOilless.com, we specialize in delivering precision-engineered C93800 bushings tailored to meet the unique demands of your machinery.
What Makes C93800 Bronze Bushings Unique?
C93800 (SAE 67) is a high-leaded tin bronze alloy renowned for its exceptional machinability, wear resistance, and self-lubricating properties. Its composition balances copper (Cu), lead (Pb), tin (Sn), and other elements to optimize performance under heavy loads and low-speed conditions.
C93800 High Leaded Tin Bronze “SAE 67” Chemical Composition (ASTM B505/B505M-23)
| Element | Cu | Pb | Sn | Zn | Fe | P | Ni/Co |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| % Range | 75-79 | 13-16 | 6.3-7.5 | ≤0.8 | ≤0.15 | ≤1.5 | ≤1.0 |
Notes:
- High lead content (13-16%) reduces friction and enhances self-lubrication.
- Tin improves hardness and corrosion resistance.
C93800 vs. Other Bushing Materials
To understand why C93800 is a preferred choice, let’s compare it to common alternatives:
| Property | C93800 (High-Leaded Tin Bronze) | SAE 660 (C93200) | Aluminum Bronze |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lead Content | 13-16% | 6-8% | 0% |
| Machinability | 80 (Excellent) | 70 (Good) | 30 (Poor) |
| Load Capacity | High | Moderate | Very High |
| Corrosion Resistance | Good (anti-acid) | Moderate | Excellent |
| Self-Lubrication | Superior (due to Pb) | Moderate | Poor |
Key Advantages of C93800:
- Self-Lubricating: Ideal for applications where external lubrication is impractical.
- High Machinability: Reduces manufacturing costs and time.
- Anti-Acid Properties: Resists corrosion in harsh chemical environments.
Mechanical & Physical Properties
C93800 bushings excel in demanding conditions due to their robust mechanical profile:
Mechanical Properties (ASTM B505)
| Tensile Strength | Yield Strength | Elongation | Hardness (BHN) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 ksi (172 MPa) | 16 ksi (110 MPa) | 5% | 55 |
Physical Properties
| Melting Point (Liquidus) | Density | Thermal Conductivity |
|---|---|---|
| 1730°F (943°C) | 0.334 lb/in³ | 30.2 Btu/sq ft/ft hr/°F |
