This PB1 Bronze Tube is a premium, high-strength material designed for demanding industrial and engineering applications. Made from durable bronze, this tube offers a unique combination of mechanical properties that make it ideal for environments requiring high performance and long-lasting reliability.
-
Material: Crafted from PB1 bronze, this tube is known for its exceptional durability, wear resistance, and excellent performance under load. The bronze alloy composition ensures it can handle significant stress and friction, making it a top choice for heavy-duty applications.
-
Dimensions: The tube features an outside diameter of 50.8mm, although it is supplied at 51.5mm to allow for machining and fine adjustments. The internal diameter is supplied at 24.6mm, resulting in a wall thickness of 12.7mm. These precise dimensions provide the tube with a solid structure, making it capable of withstanding high pressures and mechanical loads.
-
Weldability: PB1 bronze has a fair weldability rating. While it can be welded with appropriate techniques, care must be taken during the process to maintain the integrity of the material. This makes the tube versatile in various fabrication processes, especially when joining with other metals or components.
-
Corrosion Resistance: The tube offers good corrosion resistance, a key characteristic of PB1 bronze. This property makes it particularly suitable for use in environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or other corrosive elements is a concern. It is an excellent choice for marine, outdoor, and industrial applications where long-term durability is essential.
-
Finish: Supplied in a mill finish, the tube has a smooth, unpolished surface. This finish provides a clean and workable exterior, which can be further processed or finished according to specific project requirements.
-
Grade: PB1 is a high-tin bronze alloy, renowned for its strength, wear resistance, and ability to withstand heavy loads. This makes the tube an ideal choice for applications that demand high performance, such as in the manufacturing of bearings, bushings, and other components subject to significant stress and wear.
-
Weight: Weighing 14.76 kg per meter, this tube is notably robust, contributing to its stability and performance in structural and mechanical applications. The substantial weight reflects the tube’s density and strength, making it a reliable component in heavy-duty environments.
