Bronze rods — varieties
With its high resistance to mechanical stress and corrosion resistance, bronze has become one of the most demanded metals in quite different areas. Various parts for cars and various types of equipment are made from it, where high friction units are present. It is in such places that the bronze elements used increase the operational capabilities of other types of parts, taking on the main negative consequences of friction. Now bronze rods are divided into 4 types.
The most affordable cost is possessed by a bronze rod of the BrOTsS 555 brand. It is precisely because of its affordability in price that it is one of the most demanded among other types of brands. It should be borne in mind that such bronze is the softest, although, at the same time, parts made from such a material have fairly good sliding characteristics. But the metal of the BrAZh 9-4 brand is still profitable in terms of cost and quality. Such bronze is distinguished by good technical data; the elements made from it will serve for a long time. Since the level of hardness of this type of bronze reaches 100 kgfmm2.
BraZhMts 10-3-1.5 is used exclusively for the manufacture of parts used in marine technology. But it is worth considering that, despite this, the cost of such bronze is quite affordable. To enhance the strength and antifriction properties, a certain percentage of manganese is added to the bronze of this brand. In total, in such a grade of bronze, the presence of manganese can be from 1 to 2. In cases with pressing equipment, parts made only of the grade of bronze BrOF7-0.2 are used. It is he who has high antifriction properties. Elements made of such bronze are mainly used in equipment where high pressure is present..
Under the influence of this pressure, the bronze elements cope with their work with minimal friction. Regardless of the brand, most of the bronze rods are round bars. This type of shape is due to the fact that the elements made from them are used in mechanisms with a cylindrical structure..
