Leaded Bronze

Leaded bronze is an alloy primarily composed of copper, tin, and lead. The addition of lead improves machinability and wear resistance, making it ideal for bearings, bushings, and similar applications where friction is a concern. Leaded bronze alloys are known for their excellent corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity, and the ability to operate effectively under high loads and speeds. The presence of tin enhances strength and corrosion resistance, while the lead provides self-lubricating properties. This makes leaded bronze suitable for applications in the marine, automotive, and industrial sectors.
