ASTM B505
ASTM B505 is the standard specification for copper alloy continuous castings, specifically focusing on C95400 aluminum bronze (C954) alloy.
ASTM B505 Bronze Parts, Standard Specification for Copper Alloy Continuous Castings
ASTM B505 outlines a standard specification set by ASTM International for the continuous casting of copper alloy products. This standard specifies the requirements for the production of rod, bar, tube, and various shapes made from copper alloys with defined nominal compositions. It encompasses a range of copper alloy materials, including leaded red brass and aluminum bronzes, identified by their Unified Numbering System (UNS) numbers, such as C83600, C83800, C84400, among others.
The continuous casting process, detailed within ASTM B505, involves the solidification of molten metal into a semi-finished form like billets, blooms, or slabs, which are then rolled into final shapes. This casting method is preferred for manufacturing rod, bar, tube, and shapes in copper alloys due to its enhanced yield, quality, and cost-effectiveness over traditional static casting techniques.
Among the copper alloys utilized for continuous castings that comply with ASTM B505, C95400 Aluminum Bronze is notable for its excellent yield and tensile strength, ductility, and resistance to wear and fatigue. Similarly, C86300 Manganese Bronze is utilized for its robustness, making it ideal for components such as bushings, bearings, gears, where high wear resistance and ability to withstand heavy loads are paramount.
The ASTM B505 standard facilitates the provision of custom-sized and shaped castings to accommodate specific needs across applications. When choosing materials and placing orders for parts, it’s crucial to assess the alloy’s characteristics, the intended use, and the manufacturing capabilities to ensure the end product meets the required performance standards.
ASTM B505 Bronze Parts CNC Bronze Bearing
ASTM B505 bronze bushings are specialized bearings crafted from a particular bronze alloy, stipulated by the ASTM B505 standard. These bushings are created from continuous bronze materials to guarantee a consistent structure, offering superior load bearing and wear resistance capabilities. Their unique properties make them highly sought after across various industrial sectors, significantly enhancing the efficiency of machinery.
The production of these bushings initiates with choosing the right bronze alloy, mainly comprising copper and tin, with possible inclusions of other elements like aluminum to improve the alloy’s overall characteristics. Additives such as phosphorus or arsenic may be incorporated to increase hardness, ductility, or machining ease.
These bushings can be tailored to precise dimensions and requirements, utilizing different bronze alloys such as C86300, C83600, C95500, C90500, and C83600. For instance, C95400 Aluminum Bronze bushings are offered in various forms including continuous cast, centrifugal cast, and wrought, among others. The C93200 alloy, also recognized as SAE 660 bearing bronze, is celebrated for its superior machining capabilities, robustness, and wear resistance, alongside its exceptional anti-friction features.
ASTM B505 bronze bushings find their applications in numerous areas, serving as crucial components in machinery like crane bearings, diesel engine wrist pin bushings, and hydraulic press main linings, to list a few.
When procuring custom-sized ASTM B505 bronze bushings, it is essential to consider the manufacturing company’s reputation, the specific attributes of their bushings, their pricing strategy, and the quality of customer service they offer.
