Manganese Bronze
Manganese bronze contains small additions of manganese, iron, and aluminum, plus lead for lubricity, anti-seizing, and bonding. Like the aluminum bronzes, they combine high strength with excellent corrosion resistance. Manganese bronze bearings can operate at high speeds under heavy loads, but require high shaft hardness and nonabrasive operating conditions.
Factors such as hardness, yield strength and density will vary across the 10 manganese bronze alloys distributed by Aviva Metals. Manganese bronze variations such as C67300 Leaded Silicon Manganese Bronze have good bearing qualities that allow it to maintain high impact resistance with excellent machinability. Many of your manganese bronze choices are highly versatile, including C67600 which has elevated strength and corrosion resistance.
Applications of Manganese Bronze
The various types of manganese bronze are a popular choice for the aerospace, fastener, marine, and oil and gas Industries. Typical applications in these industries include landing gear parts, strut bushings, screw machine parts, bearings, bushings, gears, and lead screw nuts.
For a manganese bronze that exhibits exceptional characteristics for hot working in closed die forging applications, consider choosing C67500. For a continuous cast manganese bronze, C86300 is intended for use in applications combining outstanding wear characteristics and high bearing strength for heavy loads and slow speeds.
Frequently Asked Manganese Bronze Questions
What is manganese bronze?
Manganese bronze is a copper-zinc alloy, containing small amounts of manganese, aluminum, and iron. The addition of manganese, iron, and aluminum enhances the alloy's strength and resistance to corrosion. This material is known for its high strength, and excellent corrosion and wear resistance.
Is manganese bronze the same as brass?
Manganese bronze is a type of brass. Specifically, it is a copper-zinc based alloy. While it is a type of refined brass, it also contains manganese, which gives it higher strength.
Is manganese bronze expensive?
Manganese bronze pricing varies based on your preferred metal shape and the quantity needed for your application.
Is manganese bronze magnetic?
Manganese bronze is not magnetic. This is because it is a copper-based alloy, and copper is not magnetic.
