C91300

Reference guide

Continuous cast • GreenAlloys™

Tin bronze alloys such as C91300 are typically found in gear and high-strength bushing and bearing applications where high strength, low speeds, and heavy loads are present. Other high-strength applications for these alloys are pump impellers, piston rings, steam fittings, and valve bodies. C913 tin bronze castings are utilized in movable bridge components, turntables for bridges, and other structures for fixed and expansion bearings with slow or intermittent movement and heavy loads. C91300 also supports the market demand for regulation-compliant lead-free material.
