C86200

Reference guide

Continuous cast

Manganese bronze alloys can operate under very high loads and speeds. Besides excellent mechanical qualities, these alloys have good corrosion resistance. The standard alloy in this group is high tensile C86300, which is comprised of copper, manganese, aluminum, and iron. This combination raises the tensile strength to over 110,000 ksi.
