White Bronze ALZEN 305 / ALZEN 501
ALZEN 305 and ALZEN 501 are ZnAlCu-alloys with excellent antifriction qualities which have been developed by voestalpine Linz/Austria.
Advantages of ALZEN over BRONZE and other bearing alloys
- Lower specific weight, hence substantial price advantage and lower freight charges
- Reduced machining times through higher cutting speeds
- Better anti-frictional and emergency running properties (no seizing of shafts
- Better embedding properties
- More readily wetted by lubricants
- Higher thermal conductivity
- Higher internal damping factor. Therefore quiet running
- Lower coefficient of friction. This largely eliminates the "stic-slip-effect" which is particularly advantageous when used in machine tool bearings
- Longer life in many applications
- Stable price which is not influenced by the wide fluctuations of the copper and tin market
Manufactoring program
- Bushings and Rods
- Sheets, rolled and cut
- Wear plates
