Bronze Grades / Standards | Properties and Applications |
Rg5 CuSn5Zn5Pb2 CC499K |
- Very good elongation - Resistant to corrosion and seawater - Contains minimal lead, making it suitable for contact with drinking water - Used in sanitary, exhaust, oil, and gas fittings (for shut-off, safety, and control valves, as a material for pipe system components, and as a construction material in water engineering, filtration, and recycling) - Boiler tubes - Tubing and fittings - Heating installations |
Rg+ CuSn4Zn2PS |
- More environmentally friendly due to the elimination of lead, suitable for producing drinking water fittings - Good strength, castability, and machinability (influenced by zinc sulfide), making it the best replacement for CC499K - Excellent hygienic properties, allowing use in all types of water without restrictions - Meets European and American legislative requirements as well as REACH and RoHS regulations, with a maximum Pb content of 0.10% - Used for drinking water fittings |
Rg7 CuSn7Zn4Pb7 CC493K |
- Good sliding properties - Easy to machine - Good lubrication structure - High wear and corrosion resistance - Machine parts exposed to friction - Machines requiring proper lubrication - Bearings and bushings for tool and automotive industries |
B101 CuSn10P |
- Resistant to wear and high mechanical loads - Corrosion-resistant - Resistant to high temperatures - Good castability and machinability - Chemical fittings - Bearings exposed to corrosion - High-speed rotating components exposed to heavy loads |
CuSn12 CC483K |
- Good strength and elasticity - Wear resistance (even at high speeds) - Good sliding properties - Resistant to corrosion and seawater - Cavitation stress resistance - Gears and worm wheels - Bearings - Cylindrical inserts - Slide rails - Pressure nuts - Springs - Measuring and control instruments - Particularly suitable for parts that must withstand surface pressures and impacts simultaneously, as well as those exposed to abrasive wear |
