C67300 Manganese Bronze

SAE J461, SAE J463

This is a high strength leaded silicon manganese bronze with typically good bearing qualities. This alloy maintains high impact resistance with excellent machinability making it well suited for clutch bearings, shaft bushings, sleeve bearings, thrust bearings, pump parts, drive shafts, bearing pins, wear plates, gears and cams. Resists squashing out under high loads and extreme wear applications.
