C90500 Manganese Bronze for Heavy-Duty Machinery Applications
Material Performance Comparison
Material | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Wear Resistance | Typical Applications | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
450-585 | 170-310 | Exceptional | Heavy-duty gears, bushings, bearings | Excellent strength, superior wear resistance | |
760-895 | 415-550 | Exceptional | Bearings, heavy-load components | High strength, outstanding durability | |
515-655 | 205-310 | Excellent | Valve parts, industrial bearings | Corrosion-resistant, strong | |
345-400 | 140-200 | Good | Connectors, fittings | High machinability, moderate strength |
Material Selection Strategy
Selecting C90500 Manganese Bronze for heavy-duty machinery involves precisely evaluating mechanical and operational criteria:
For gears, bushings, and bearings subjected to dynamic loads exceeding 500 MPa and severe abrasive conditions, C90500 Manganese Bronze provides exceptional wear resistance (ASTM G65 abrasion test rating), reliable tensile strength up to 585 MPa, and excellent resistance to deformation under continuous operational stress.
Bearings and bushings operating under extreme static and dynamic load conditions requiring even higher tensile strength (760-895 MPa) and elevated fatigue resistance frequently select C86300 Manganese Bronze.
Components exposed to corrosive environments, such as seawater or aggressive chemicals, necessitate the corrosion-resistant properties (>1200 hrs ASTM B117) of C95400 Aluminum Bronze.
For non-critical fittings or connectors, where easy machinability and moderate mechanical requirements (tensile strength around 400 MPa) are prioritized, choose Brass C360 for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Outstanding (>1500 hrs ASTM B117) | Very High (HV500-700) | Excellent | Gears, bushings, bearing surfaces | Enhanced durability, superior wear protection | |
Excellent (≥1000 hrs ASTM B117) | Moderate | Excellent | Valve bodies, fittings | Improved corrosion resistance, cleanliness | |
Superior (>1000 hrs ASTM B117) | Very High (HV1500-2500) | Excellent | High-wear parts, industrial gears | High hardness, friction reduction | |
Excellent (≥1000 hrs ASTM B117) | High | Excellent | Precision fittings, bearings | Ultra-smooth finish, minimized contamination |
Surface Treatment Selection
Selecting appropriate surface treatments for C90500 Manganese Bronze components demands a detailed evaluation of operating conditions and performance metrics:
Gears and heavy-duty bushings exposed to extreme wear environments benefit significantly from Electroplating, which increases surface hardness (500-700 HV), reduces friction coefficients, and delivers excellent corrosion resistance exceeding 1500 hrs in salt spray testing (ASTM B117).
Valve bodies and critical fittings operating in chemically aggressive or corrosive conditions utilize Passivation to provide corrosion protection and enhance cleanliness, meeting or exceeding 1000 hrs of ASTM B117 testing.
High-load industrial components, specifically gears and bearings subjected to severe frictional environments, select PVD Coating to achieve exceptionally high hardness values (1500-2500 HV), reduced friction, and prolonged component lifespan.
Precision components such as bearings and high-accuracy fittings demanding ultra-smooth finishes (Ra ≤ 0.2 µm) opt for Electropolishing, which effectively minimizes surface irregularities and enhances resistance to contamination and corrosion.
