Tin Bronze
OVERVIEW
Tin Bronze is very strong, tough and is highly malleable. A combination of these properties give BC3 Bronze the ability to withstand heavy load, superb wear resistance and the ability to withstand pounding. BC3 Tin Bronze is known for its corrosion resistance in seawater and brines. Tin Bronze are best suited for heavy load with low speed application and requires clean, reliable lubrication paired against hardened shaft material
