ECO BRONZE C87850 Is Engineered for Performance
ECO BRONZE® C87850 Is a versatile lead-free alloy that can be used in many wear applications including bushings, bearings, gears, worm gears etc. ECO BRONZE bearings have been independently tested through multiple independent laboratories and has proven to be as good or better that the traditional wear alloys. ECO BRONZE continuous cast and centrifugal cast product offers excellent machinability, resistance to galling, good wear characteristics vs C932 and C954, high tensile strength equivalent 303 annealed stainless, excellent compressive strength, and its static and dynamic coefficient of friction is similar to C93200 (SAE660). Best of all, it is lead-free and 100% recyclable and is RoHS compliant .
Adding to ECO BRONZE versatility, it is also ideal for use in water and potable water applications. It is often used in water carrying devices including valves bodies, valve stems, valve balls, water meter body, agriculture pipe, fire protection devices, shower valves etc. because of its superior dezincification and stress corrosion resistance. It easily welds, solders, and brazes, and accepts plating.
In addition to excellent brazing and soldering, ECO BRONZE C87850 has good butt welding, seam welding, oxyacetylene welding, and spot welding capabilities.
ECO BRONZE C87850 mechanical properties include:
- 65 KSI Tensile Strength (minimum)
- 25 KSI Yield Strength (minimum)
- 8% Elongation (in 2in. or 50mm minimum)
- 103 Brinell Hardness (500 lb load)
ECO BRONZE C87850 physical properties include:
- 0.300 lb/cu in. Density
