Zinc Alloy Bar Stock

Za alloys offer higher strength and useful bearing properties.

Zinc alloy bar stock. An investigation of the properties of za alloys as bearing materials was conducted in 1981 1986. These include za 8 za 12 and za 27. Brass an alloy of zinc that contains between 55 and 95 copper is among the best known alloys. It was concluded that za bearing alloys had equivalent or superior bearing performance to bronze alloys particularly c93200 sae 660 lead tin bronze.

These include alloy 2 alloy 3 alloy 5 and alloy 7. The intrinsic benefits of continuous casting including efficiency and high tonnage capability uniformity of metallurgical structure and properties and. Zinc alloys with higher amounts of aluminum than the conventional alloys use the prefix za followed by their approximate aluminum content. Zinc bearing alloys compared to bronze bearing alloy c93200.

Our inventory contains a variety of shapes and sizes including rectangular and round bars and covers. Eastern alloys is now offering additional technical support to our customers by supplying con cast zinc bar stock. Zinc alloy bar stock. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron carbon and a minimum.
