C86300, commonly known as manganese bronze or high-strength aluminum bronze, is a premium copper alloy strip specifically engineered for demanding applications. Its primary characteristics are exceptional mechanical strength, high wear resistance, and good load-bearing capacity, which surpass those of many other bronzes and brasses.
Furthermore, C86300 strip offers good machinability and fair corrosion resistance, making it a versatile material choice. It is widely used in heavy-duty industrial components such as gears, bushings, bearings, and hydraulic valve parts where durability and performance under stress are critical.
