ASTM B505

ASTM B505 is the standard specification for copper alloy continuous castings, specifically focusing on C95400 aluminum bronze (C954) alloy.

ASTM B505 Bronze Parts, Standard Specification for Copper Alloy Continuous Castings

ASTM B505 outlines a standard specification set by ASTM International for the continuous casting of copper alloy products. This standard specifies the requirements for the production of rod, bar, tube, and various shapes made from copper alloys with defined nominal compositions. It encompasses a range of copper alloy materials, including leaded red brass and aluminum bronzes, identified by their Unified Numbering System (UNS) numbers, such as C83600, C83800, C84400, among others.

The continuous casting process, detailed within ASTM B505, involves the solidification of molten metal into a semi-finished form like billets, blooms, or slabs, which are then rolled into final shapes. This casting method is preferred for manufacturing rod, bar, tube, and shapes in copper alloys due to its enhanced yield, quality, and cost-effectiveness over traditional static casting techniques.

Among the copper alloys utilized for continuous castings that comply with ASTM B505, C95400 Aluminum Bronze is notable for its excellent yield and tensile strength, ductility, and resistance to wear and fatigue. Similarly, C86300 Manganese Bronze is utilized for its robustness, making it ideal for components such as bushings, bearings, gears, where high wear resistance and ability to withstand heavy loads are paramount.

The ASTM B505 standard facilitates the provision of custom-sized and shaped castings to accommodate specific needs across applications. When choosing materials and placing orders for parts, it’s crucial to assess the alloy’s characteristics, the intended use, and the manufacturing capabilities to ensure the end product meets the required performance standards.

ASTM B505 Bronze Parts CNC Bronze Bearing

ASTM B505 bronze bushings are specialized bearings crafted from a particular bronze alloy, stipulated by the ASTM B505 standard. These bushings are created from continuous bronze materials to guarantee a consistent structure, offering superior load bearing and wear resistance capabilities. Their unique properties make them highly sought after across various industrial sectors, significantly enhancing the efficiency of machinery.

The production of these bushings initiates with choosing the right bronze alloy, mainly comprising copper and tin, with possible inclusions of other elements like aluminum to improve the alloy’s overall characteristics. Additives such as phosphorus or arsenic may be incorporated to increase hardness, ductility, or machining ease.

These bushings can be tailored to precise dimensions and requirements, utilizing different bronze alloys such as C86300, C83600, C95500, C90500, and C83600. For instance, C95400 Aluminum Bronze bushings are offered in various forms including continuous cast, centrifugal cast, and wrought, among others. The C93200 alloy, also recognized as SAE 660 bearing bronze, is celebrated for its superior machining capabilities, robustness, and wear resistance, alongside its exceptional anti-friction features.

ASTM B505 bronze bushings find their applications in numerous areas, serving as crucial components in machinery like crane bearings, diesel engine wrist pin bushings, and hydraulic press main linings, to list a few.

When procuring custom-sized ASTM B505 bronze bushings, it is essential to consider the manufacturing company’s reputation, the specific attributes of their bushings, their pricing strategy, and the quality of customer service they offer.

Standard Compliance: All products must align with the ASTM B505 criteria to guarantee their reliability and effectiveness in their respective applications.

Product Availability: C95400 aluminum bronze is accessible in a variety of shapes, including bars and castings, all conforming to the rigorous standards of ASTM B505.

Comparable Specifications: Similar to C95400, other bronze alloys, like C93200, are regulated under the ASTM B505 standards, ensuring a broad range of high-quality options for various applications.

ASTM B505 bronze parts are components manufactured according to the ASTM B505 standard, which specifies the requirements for continuous cast bronze solid bars and tubes of a particular bronze alloy composition. These parts are commonly used for their high strength, good ductility, and excellent resistance to wear, fatigue, and deformation under shock or overload, making them suitable for applications such as bearings, gears, valve components, and wear plates.CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a process that involves the use of computers to control machine tools to manufacture parts with high precision. When it comes to bronze, CNC machining is used to shape and refine bronze material, such as those conforming to ASTM B505, into the desired form with precision. The process can include various operations such as milling, turning, drilling, and more. Bronze alloys like C95400 Aluminum Bronze are popular for CNC machining due to their high yield and tensile strength, good ductility, and exceptional resistance to wear. This particular alloy is also known for its weldability and is often used in applications requiring a greater load-bearing capacity. Other bronze alloys suitable for CNC machining include 932 Bearing Bronze, which is known for its high strength and good corrosion resistance, and C83600, which offers good corrosion resistance and machinability
We provide custom CNC machining services to create parts to specific sizes and specifications. When ordering custom-sized parts, it is important to consider the manufacturer’s capabilities, the specific properties of the bronze alloy, and the intended application of the part to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
