When crushers chew through bushings in months and gearboxes scream under load, C90200 Tin Bronze answers. This copper-tin alloy (89% Cu, 10% Sn, 1% Zn) carries crushing forces while gliding like butter against steel. RoHS-exempt per Annex III 6c – it’s the quiet champion in mining rigs, steel mills, and century-old bridges still running smooth.

5 REASONS FACTORIES NEVER REPLACE IT
Silent Running
"Self-lubricating tin-rich phase reduces noise by 15 dB vs. leaded bronze – hear the difference in textile looms."
Wear Immunity
"Outlasts C93200 by 5X in sugar mill rollers – 0.03mm wear after 20.000 operating hours."
Embeddability
"Traps grit and dust in microstructure – protects shafts in dirty environments (mines, cement plants)."
Corrosion Guard
"Zero dezincification in seawater – used in Statue of Liberty’s 1926 restoration bearings."
Cost Slayer
"Eliminates lubrication costs: runs dry in conveyor systems saving $8.000/year per machine."
KEY FEATURES: BEYOND THE DATA SHEET
Fatigue Resistance: Handles cyclic loading in stamping presses (200+ million cycles)
Vibration Damping: Absorbs shock in railroad couplers and mining shakers
Thermal Stability: Maintains properties from -40°C to 200°C
Chip Control: Machines cleanly at 130 SFM – short chips, no built-up edge
PRECISION PROCESSING: FROM METAL TO MASTERPIECE
1 Vacuum Melting
"Cu-Sn alloyed under inert gas – eliminates porosity for dense, uniform grain structure."
2 Centrifugal Casting
"Spun at 1.500 RPM into void-free bushings/sleeves (±0.5% dimensional tolerance)."
3 Heat Treatment
"Stress-relieved at 290°C – optimizes hardness (BHN 80) without brittleness."
4 Finish Machining
"CNC-turned to Ra 0.8μm mirror finish – ready for press-fit assembly."
WHERE IT RULES: INDUSTRY WORKHORSES
Industry | Critical Components | Why C90200? |
---|
Mining | Crusher eccentric bushings | Embeds abrasive ore dust, protects shafts |
Steel Mills | Rolling mill gear sleeves | Withstands scale contamination at 300°C |
Marine | Rudder bearings, pump sleeves | Immune to saltwater dezincification |
Power Gen | Turbine thrust washers | Dampens vibration at 12.000 RPM |
Railroad | Coupler knuckle bushings | Runs dry, zero maintenance in all weather |
