C90300 High Tin Bronze


A proven alloy in a wide number of uses, C90300 (SAE 620) Tin Bronze is most often used in high load, low speed applications. The alloy is hard, strong and can be counted on to withstand wear and corrosion. C90300 can be used for welding, brazing and soldering. Final components made of this alloy require good alignment and lubrication of mated parts.
