SAE 660 Bronze (C93200)

---

SAE660 leaded bronze is suitable for various engineering applications performed under medium loads whilst using adequate lubrication.

The alloy is a continuously cast leaded copper-based material known as leaded bronze. It is highly suited to pump and valve component manufacture due to the alloy's resistance to brine. SAE660 offers good sliding and dry-running properties and is not subject to dezincification. Our product also boasts excellent machinability characteristics.

Benefits:

Typical commercial applications include:

• Versatile - broad application usage
• Excellent anti-friction qualities
• Excellent machining properties
• Ideal in bushes and bearings under medium loads

Alternatives?

While SA660 leaded bronze is well known in the market, a natural alternative is available - SigmaBronze 7™ . SigmaBronze 7™ affords our customers the same characteristics and performance benefits of SAE660 leaded bronze, but we supply the alloy in metric sizes.
