Description
SAE 841 Bronze Bar Powdered Metal – Cored | R-Lube® is a specialized high-quality bronze material designed for applications where continuous lubrication, weight reduction, and high performance are essential. The cored design of this bronze bar offers the same exceptional self-lubricating properties as the solid version, thanks to its oil-impregnated structure. This ensures that the material provides continuous lubrication throughout its operational life, minimizing friction and wear, while the cored design reduces overall weight, making it ideal for applications that require a balance of strength and efficiency.
Material Properties:
- Material Composition: Powdered Bronze (Copper-Tin alloy)
- Oil Content: Approximately 18-20% by volume
- Porosity: 20-25%, allowing for effective oil impregnation and uniform lubrication
- Density: 6.4 – 6.8 g/cm³
- Compressive Strength: Up to 35,000 PSI
- Tensile Strength: 14,000 – 18,000 PSI
- Hardness: Rockwell B 30 – 40
Performance Characteristics:
- Self-Lubricating: The oil-impregnated structure of SAE 841 provides continuous lubrication, ensuring smooth operation and reducing the need for additional lubricants. This self-lubricating feature is particularly beneficial in applications where maintenance access is limited or where reducing maintenance costs is a priority.
- Weight Reduction: The cored design of this bronze bar allows for significant weight reduction without compromising the material’s strength and durability. This makes it suitable for applications where weight is a critical factor, such as in aerospace and automotive industries.
- High Load Capacity: Despite the reduced weight, SAE 841 cored bronze bars are capable of handling moderate to high loads, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications.
- Temperature Stability: The material maintains its performance across a wide range of temperatures, ensuring reliable operation in environments with fluctuating thermal conditions.
