Construction material. The main areas of application are water and steam fitting housings up to 255 °C, pump housings and thin-walled, intricate castings and machined parts for mechanical and apparatus engineering and shipbuilding. Is usually replaced as a bearing material with Cu Sn7 Zn4 Pb7-C today. |

Most common, low-budget gunmetal alloy for plain bearings. Still has good dry-running properties and sufficient wear resistance at medium hardness. Also suitable when unhardened shafts and light edge pressure are used. Short-chipping material, good machinability, good corrosion resistance (even in seawater), soft solderable and to a limited extent hard solderable. The main areas of application are plain bearings and bearing bushings for general mechanical engineering.. |
