Description
Bronze powders are copper-tin based materials, blended together and typically formulated to 90% copper and 10% tin. These pre-mixed powders are engineered for low-noise sintered bearings.
The sintered pore structure of the bearings provides a uniform controlled porosity and oil permeability for excellent hydrodynamic lubrication at lower shaft loads and higher rotational speeds.
Characteristics
- Typically 90% copper and 10% tin blend of elemental powders
- Particle size -100 mesh (<150 µm)
- Apparent density 2.2 g/cc to 3.2 g/cc
