Lead Free Bronze

Lead-free bronze alloys are engineered materials developed to comply with regulations restricting lead content, notably the Safe Drinking Water Act's requirements for components used in potable water systems. Alloys like C90300 Tin Bronze ("Modified Navy G") and 995 Stem Bronze offer excellent resistance to corrosion, particularly dezincification, which is crucial in water-related applications. These bronzes generally provide good mechanical strength and wear resistance. Some variants, such as 995 stem bronze, also feature good machinability and can be heat-treated for enhanced mechanical properties in demanding situations.
