Advantages of Carobronze^®

As already mentioned, due to its composition and the mixed crystal structure resulting from the cold working process, Carobronze^® offers numerous positive material properties:

• excellent antifriction and emergency running properties
• high wear-resistance
• high load capacity
• good high-temperature strength
• high fatigue strength
• insensitivity to impact and shock load
• high erosion and cavitation resistance
• corrosion and sea water resistance
• good thermal conductivity
• good temperature resistance

These properties results in the best preconditions for the use as high-performance plain bearing material with high requirements on the load carrying capacity, admissible running speed, wear resistance in the case of mixed friction operation and hydrodynamics, as well as requirements on the wear resistance.
