Graphite bronze

Graphite bronze is a metallic alloy produced by combining bronze and graphite, which gives it non-stick properties. For this reason, graphite bronze is also known as self-lubricating bronze and it is widely used in equipment that does not accept manual lubrication such as hydraulic equipment and piston rings. It is important to remember that the attributes of graphite bronze vary according to the alloys used in its production. This factor directly influences its formability levels, that is, its capacity to be bent, pressed, stamped, or forged, without damaging its physical integrity in metallurgical, mechanical, visual, and dimensional aspects.

Other characteristics such as weldability, brazability, hardness, as well as wear, corrosion, and abrasion resistance, are also related to the alloys used in the production of the graphite bronze, thus creating the need to search, among the options in the market, the one that best suit the needs of your industry Coppermetal’s graphite bronze has excellent antifriction properties and great fatigue resistance.
