The CuSn12-based alloy stands out for its excellent hardness, toughness, wear resistance, corrosion and elasticity properties. They need to have good lubrication, which allows them to work with high specific loads.
Since welding is carried out in a very short range and at a high temperature, tension during welding and cooling should be avoided.
Tin bronze castings, such as the susn12 alloy, are used in components of mobile bridges, turntables for bridges and other structures for fixed and expansion bearings with slow or intermittent movement with heavy loads.
