CAC407 Bronze Casting

CAC407 Bronze Casting is a high-strength gunmetal specified under JIS H 5111 CAC407 (formerly BC7), containing nominally 87% copper, 10% tin, 1% lead, and 2% zinc. CAC407 provides higher strength and hardness than CAC406, making it suitable for more demanding structural and bearing casting applications. Indicative price: US$ 9.50/kilogram.
