LEADED BRONZE ALLOY
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
SigmaBronze 7 is a viable alternative to SAE660 in many applications because it has the advantage of being available in metric sizes. Like SAE660, the alloy is a leaded continuously cast copper-based alloy suitable for applications under medium load whilst using adequate lubrication. Offering good sliding and dry running characteristics, SigmaBronze 7 is not subject to dezincification. It is suitable for use in applications such as pump and valve manufacture since it has reasonable resistance to brine.
SigmaBronze 7 also benefits from excellent machinability.
