Applications
Leaded bronze ASTM B584 C93500 is used for bearings and high-speed, lightly loaded bushings. Other documented applications include backing for Babbitt-lined bearings and pump impellers, with some uses involving mildly acidic media. Other cast components used in this material family include plain bearings, thrust washers and sliding-contact wear parts.
Typical settings include machine tools, pumps, heavy equipment and machinery maintenance. Grade-specific load and speed limitations, lubrication and mating-surface conditions must be retained, particularly for grades intended for lightly loaded bearings.
