info-288-175info-301-167info-275-183

The performance and characteristics of aluminum bronze 9-4 bearings are: high mechanical properties, good wear resistance in the atmosphere, fresh water and sea water, good casting performance, high air tightness, good wear resistance, not easy to braze, and good casting performance.

Main applications: important castings that require high strength and good corrosion resistance. It is one of the main materials for manufacturing ship propellers. It can also be used as wear-resistant and working parts below 400℃.

Characteristics and application scope of aluminum bronze 9-4 copper bearings: It is an iron-containing aluminum bronze with high strength and friction reduction, good corrosion resistance, good pressure processing in hot state, electric welding and gas welding, but poor brazing performance. QAl9-4 aluminum bronze can be used as a substitute for high-tin wear-resistant bronze.
