The C66800 Manganese Bronze Bar is a high-strength, non-heat treatable copper alloy that offers a combination of excellent wear resistance, high bearing strength, moderate electrical and thermal conductivity, and good corrosion resistance. This makes it suitable for various industrial applications, including but not limited to, heavy-duty bushings, gears, marine fittings, valve stems, and bearings. The alloy is especially valued in environments where high strength and resistance to wear and corrosion are required.

Application

Marine Industry: Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments, C66800 is used for propeller shafts, marine hardware like boat propellers, rudders, and pump components that require durability against saltwater corrosion.

Industrial Applications: It's used in high-strength, wear-resistant components such as gears, bearings, bushings, and valve components. The alloy's resistance to wear and galling makes it ideal for heavy-duty mechanical parts.

Aerospace Components: The high strength and resistance to wear make C66800 suitable for certain aerospace applications, including components that must withstand high stress and friction.

Automotive Applications: In the automotive industry, C66800 is used for parts that require a combination of strength and corrosion resistance, such as bushings and bearings in heavy trucks, off-road vehicles, and some performance car components.

Electrical Applications: While not the primary application due to its moderate conductivity, it's sometimes used in electrical connectors and components where mechanical strength is more critical than electrical conductivity.

Architectural and Structural: Its aesthetic appeal and mechanical properties make it suitable for architectural applications, including decorative fittings, door handles, and custom hardware that benefits from the alloy's bronze-like appearance.

Valve and Pump Components: The alloy's excellent wear resistance and strength are ideal for manufacturing valve guides, seats, and various pump components that operate under high stress and in corrosive environments.
