About this bronze round bar
High-Quality SAE 660 Bronze Round Bar – 154mm Diameter, Mill Finish
Discover the exceptional strength and durability of our SAE 660 Bronze Round Bar, designed for heavy-duty industrial applications. With a nominal diameter of 154mm (6 inches), this round bar is crafted from premium SAE 660 bronze, known for its superior machinability and load-bearing capabilities. The bar is supplied with a diameter of 152.4mm, ensuring precision for various machining processes.
Key Features and Benefits
1. Premium Material Quality: Made from SAE 660 bronze, also referred to as leaded bronze, this round bar offers exceptional bearing properties and wear resistance. SAE 660 bronze is a trusted choice for components that require reliable performance and longevity under heavy loads.
2. Optimal Dimensions: The round bar has a nominal diameter of 154mm, with a supplied diameter of 152.4mm. This slight oversize allows for precise machining, ensuring that the bar meets exact specifications for your project needs.
3. Mill Finish: Presented in a mill finish, this bronze round bar retains the raw surface texture from the manufacturing process. The mill finish is ideal for applications where a standard finish is acceptable or where additional finishing processes will be applied.
4. Fair Corrosion Resistance: The bronze material offers fair corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in environments with moderate exposure to moisture and mild corrosive elements. This property ensures that the bar maintains its integrity and performance over time.
5. Heavy-Duty Performance: Weighing approximately 172.2 kg per meter, this bronze round bar is a substantial material choice for demanding applications. Its robust build is ideal for use in bushings, bearings, and other high-load components where durability and machinability are crucial.
6. Poor Weldability: It’s important to note that SAE 660 bronze has poor weldability. This limitation means that the bar is best used in applications where welding is not required or where alternative joining methods will be employed.
Applications
This SAE 660 Bronze Round Bar is perfect for a variety of industrial uses, including:
- Bearings and Bushings: With its excellent machinability and load-bearing properties, it is ideal for manufacturing bearings and bushings that need to withstand significant stresses.
- Heavy-Duty Components: The bar’s substantial weight and strength make it suitable for components used in demanding mechanical systems and machinery.
- Engineering and Fabrication: Suitable for engineering projects where precision machining and durability are essential.
In summary, our SAE 660 Bronze Round Bar with a 154mm diameter offers a blend of strength, durability, and machinability. Its fair corrosion resistance and mill finish make it a versatile choice for a range of industrial applications, while its poor weldability highlights the need for careful consideration of welding requirements. This bronze round bar stands out as a reliable material for high-performance components and engineering solutions.
