C92200 Tin Bronze Casting
C92200 Tin Bronze Casting
C92200 Tin Bronze Casting, known as Steam Bronze or Navy M Bronze (UNS C92200), contains nominally 88% copper, 6% tin, 1.5% lead, and 4.5% zinc. Its combination of good casting characteristics, pressure tightness, and machinability makes it ideal for steam, water, and general service fittings. Indicative price: US$ 8.50/kilogram (subject to quantity and specification).
