    Comparison BC3 VS BC6

    Uploaded by

    M. Pandu Setiawan
    This document compares the properties of two bronze alloys: BC3 and BC6. BC3 is very strong and tough, making it suitable for heavy load applications with low speed. It is corrosion resistant and commonly used for construction parts and pumps. BC6 is a versatile, cost-efficient alloy suitable for medium load, medium speed, and medium pressure applications. Common uses include marine fittings and machine parts. Both alloys have similar chemical compositions containing mainly copper, tin, lead, and zinc. But BC3 has higher strength properties suitable for heavier loads compared to BC6.

    COMPARISON BC3 VS BC6

    BC3 :
    OVERVIEW
    Tin bronze is very strong, tough and highly malleable. A combination of these properties give BC3
    Bronze the ability to withstand heavy load, superb wear resistance and the ability to withstand
    pounding. BC3 Tin Bronze is known for its corrosion resistance in seawater and brines. Tin Bronze
    are best suited for heavy load with low speed application and requires clean, reliable lubrication
    paired against hardened shaft material.

    TYPICAL USES
    Heavy construction bronze bushing and earth moving parts, pump bodies, bronze valve, bronze
    gear, piston rings, heavy duty bronze bushing, bronze gear blanks, bronze worm gear, seal rings.

    APPLICATION
    Heavy Load | Low Speed

    BC6 :
    OVERVIEW
    Copper alloy BC6 is a versatile, all purpose bronze bushing alloy that can be easily machined down
    to a wide array of machined parts, component, bushing, bronze sleeve, and guide. Pressure tight
    properties make this the ideal bronze for marine application or pump and valve parts. Copper alloy
    BC6 is very cost efficient with a wide selection of size (over >300 standard sizes) combined with
    moderate strength, easily machined and adapts to prevailing shaft condition make this the
    workhorse among bronze bushing alloys. Copper alloys BC6 is the preferred bronze alloy
    replacement for OEM machine parts due to its versatility, reliability, and cost efficiency.

    TYPICAL USES
    Rudder stock bushing, Pintle bushing, Marine bronze bushing, Bronze sleeve, Machine Parts, Bronze
    impeller, Bronze impeller, Light duty bronze gear, Rolling mill bushing, Coupling, Bronze fitting,
    Valve component, Bronze guide, Liner, Washer, Bronze flange, and wear plate.
