1. Product Features

  • Physical and Chemical Properties:
    CuSn5Pb20 bronze inherits the conductivity and thermal conductivity of pure copper and exhibits high corrosion resistance. Copper and its alloys have excellent resistance to atmospheric and water corrosion, and copper is a non-magnetic material. By adding tin and lead, the alloy’s mechanical properties and corrosion resistance are further enhanced.
  • Processing Performance:
    CuSn5Pb20 bronze offers good workability, with excellent plasticity, making it easy to perform cold and hot forming. Cast versions of this alloy also provide good casting properties.
  • Mechanical Performance:
    This alloy boasts excellent anti-friction and wear resistance properties, combined with a high elastic limit and fatigue strength. These characteristics make it well-suited for components that must withstand high pressure and heavy impact loads.
  • Corrosion Resistance:
    CuSn5Pb20 bronze is resistant to most chemical corrosion mediums, such as acids and alkalis. It is particularly noted for its exceptional seawater corrosion resistance, earning it the nickname “Naval Brass.”

2. Product Specifications

  • Shapes and Sizes:
    CuSn5Pb20 bronze bushings can be custom-made to meet specific requirements. Common shapes include slides, straight sleeves, flanged bushings, and washers. The thickness of the sheet ranges from 0.15mm to 100mm, with corresponding limits on width and length.

3. Application Areas

CuSn5Pb20 bronze bushings are widely applied in many fields due to their superior properties:

  • Automotive Manufacturing:
    Used in key engine components, friction materials, and transmission systems, providing reliable performance and long service life.
  • Electronics:
    Commonly used in connectors and terminals, where their stable electrical properties and excellent corrosion resistance ensure safe and stable operation of devices.
  • Chemical Equipment:
    Used in components such as valves, pipes, and pump bodies, where they resist chemical corrosion, extending the equipment’s life.
  • Shipbuilding:
    CuSn5Pb20 bronze is extensively used in ship manufacturing due to its excellent seawater corrosion resistance, making it suitable for propellers and thermal equipment.

4. Conclusion

CuSn5Pb20 bronze bushing is a high-performance copper alloy product with a broad range of applications. For purchase and detailed inquiries, visit bronzeoilless.com.

CuSn5Pb20 Bronze Bushing with Graphite

CuSn5Pb20 bronze bushing with graphite is a composite material that combines the excellent properties of copper alloy with the self-lubricating features of graphite. Below is an analysis of this product:

  • Physical and Chemical Properties:
    CuSn5Pb20 bronze offers excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The addition of graphite enhances its self-lubricating properties, reducing friction and wear.
  • Processing Performance:
    This composite material retains the good workability of bronze, allowing easy cold, hot forming, and casting. The lubricating effect of graphite also facilitates smoother processing.
  • Mechanical Performance:
    The anti-friction and wear resistance of CuSn5Pb20 bronze are further improved by the presence of graphite. This makes the composite material highly effective in withstanding high pressure and impact loads, extending its service life.
  • Self-lubrication:
    Graphite, acting as a solid lubricant, forms a lubricating film between the bushing and shaft, reducing friction, wear, energy consumption, and noise. This self-lubricating property allows CuSn5Pb20 bronze bushing with graphite to maintain optimal working conditions without external lubrication.

Applications

Due to its unique properties, CuSn5Pb20 bronze bushing with graphite is used in various industries:

  • Heavy Machinery:
    Applied in the transmission systems and friction parts of equipment like excavators and loaders, where it withstands high loads and harsh working conditions.
  • Automotive Manufacturing:
    Used in key components such as engine parts, transmissions, and drive shafts, offering reliable performance and longevity.
  • Shipbuilding:
    Used in propellers, bearings, and other ship parts, where it resists seawater corrosion and reduces wear under harsh marine conditions.
  • Chemical Equipment:
    Utilized in valves, pipes, and other friction parts, resisting chemical corrosion while maintaining stable performance.
