Manganese Bronze C863

Manganese Bronze Casting Supplier: Manganese Bronze C863 for High Load-Bearing, Low-Speed Applications

Erie Bronze & Aluminum is a sand casting supplier, specializing in bronze alloy castings. Serving numerous industries, we cast a variety of non-leaded bronze alloys, including Manganese Bronze C863. Manganese Bronze C863’s tough and corrosion-resistant characteristics are ideal for high load-bearing, low-speed applications that require outstanding wear characteristics. Typical uses include low-speed, heavy-duty load bearing, heavy-duty high strength applications, bridge turntable and wear hardware, gears, and valve stems. Manganese Bronze C863’s capabilities make it a top choice for these applications.

Choosing Manganese Bronze C863 for Your Manganese Bronze Castings

Erie Bronze & Aluminum produces Manganese Bronze  C863 to meet several ASME, ASTM, and SAE bronze casting material specifications:

• AMS 4862: This specification establishes requirements for aluminum bronze sand casting.
• ASTM B22: This specification establishes requirements for sand castings produced from copper-base alloys.
• ASTM B584: This is a standard specification for copper alloy sand castings for general applications.
• ASTM B763: This is a standard specification for copper alloy sand castings for valve applications.
• SAE J461: This specification is used for cast copper alloys to maintain the electrical and thermal conductivity properties, mechanical properties, yield strength, fatigue characteristics, formability, and machinability of these alloys
• SAE J462: This specification focuses on cast copper alloys used in aerospace, automotive, and commercial vehicle industries.

Manganese Bronze C863 performs best at low speeds with reliable lubrication. Manganese Bronze C863’s machinability rating of 80 is extremely high compared to other similar alloys, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring complex machining.
