C54400 Phosphor Bronze is an extremely high-quality alloy that is often called the “finest bearing alloy on the market”. This outstanding reputation is due to a number of factors and properties including:
- Extreme ease of machining
- High strength and bearing
- Excellent wear resistance
- Anti-friction qualities
- Low conductivity
- Corrosion resistance equal to high tin phosphor bronzes
These obvious advantages mean that C54400 Phosphor Bronze is in use in many of today’s important industries and applications including:
- Chemical hardware
- Pinions
- Bushings
- Gears
- Valve parts
- Bearings (sleeve, thrust)
- Thrust washers
- Screw machine products
C54400 Phosphor Bronze has a unique certain chemical composition that includes,
- Cu Balance
- Sn 3.50-4.50%
- Pb 3-4%
- Zn 1.50-4.50%
- P 0.01-0.50%
- Fe 0.10%
When it comes to fabrication, C54400 Phosphor Bronze takes both soldering and brazing well and it can be cold worked. However, experts recommend that, with the exception of butt-welding, users should never weld C54400 Phosphor Bronze. C54400 Phosphor Bronze meets a number of critical specifications including those from ASTM (B139), and SAE (J461 and J463).
