It is an extremely hard material, especially suited for machine elements submitted to the highest demands. The closest international standard is the ASTM B505 C86300


In the world of heavy machinery, aerospace, and marine engineering, components are subjected to immense stress. When it comes to bearing sleeves, selecting a material that can withstand extreme loads and resist wear is not just a preference—it’s a necessity. Standard brass or bronze often falls short. This is where CC762S High-Strength Manganese Brass enters the picture.

At Viiplus.com, we specialize in providing high-performance bearing solutions, and CC726S is one of the cornerstones of our heavy-duty product line. This guide will take a deep dive into what makes this material so exceptional, where it shines, and why it might be the perfect choice for your next demanding application.

What Exactly is CC762S Material?

CC762S (also known by its German designation G-CuZn25Al5Mn4Fe3-C) is a high-strength aluminum manganese brass. Unlike common brass, it’s a sophisticated copper-zinc alloy strategically enhanced with other elements—primarily aluminum, manganese, and iron.

These additions are not random; they are precisely formulated to create a material with a powerful combination of strength, hardness, and wear resistance, making it ideal for high-load, low-speed environments.

Deconstructing the Chemistry: The Source of Its Strength

To truly understand CC762S, we need to look at its chemical composition, governed by the DIN EN 1982 standard. Each element plays a critical role in its final performance.

Element Percentage (%) Role & Contribution
Copper (Cu) 60.0 – 66.0 The base of the alloy, providing good corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity.
Aluminum (Al) 5.0 – 7.5 The Strength Multiplier. Forms a tough, self-healing oxide layer, dramatically increasing corrosion and wear resistance.
Manganese (Mn) 2.5 – 5.0 The Hardness Enhancer. Increases the overall strength and hardness of the alloy.
Iron (Fe) 2.0 – 4.0 The Grain Refiner. Creates a finer, more uniform grain structure, which significantly boosts toughness and wear resistance.
Zinc (Zn) Remainder (22.0 – 28.0) The primary alloying element with copper to form the brass base.

This unique “Aluminum + Manganese + Iron” combination is what elevates CC762S from a simple brass to a high-performance engineering material.

Performance Under Pressure: CC762S Mechanical Properties

The numbers speak for themselves. CC762S delivers mechanical properties that far exceed those of conventional bearing materials.

Mechanical Property CC762S (C86300)
Tensile Strength ≥ 750 MPa (108,000 psi)
Yield Strength ≥ 480 MPa (69,600 psi)
Brinell Hardness 190 – 225 HBW
Elongation 5 – 14%

Contrasting Logic: CC762S vs. Standard Bearing Bronze (C93200)

To put its performance in perspective, let’s compare CC762S to a widely used bearing material, C93200 (Leaded Tin Bronze). This contrast makes it clear when to choose each material.

Feature CC762S (High-Strength Brass) C93200 (Leaded Tin Bronze)
Primary Strength Extreme Load Capacity & Wear Resistance Excellent Machinability & Self-Lubricity
Tensile Strength Very High (~750 MPa) Moderate (~240 MPa)
Hardness Very High (~210 HB) Low (~70 HB)
Ideal Speed Low Speed / Oscillating Motion High Speed / Continuous Rotation
Best For Static loads, pivot points, heavy equipment joints. Rotating shafts, general-purpose bushings.
Key Limitation Lower ductility, not for high-speed applications. Lower load capacity, not for shock loads.

The Verdict: If your application involves high loads, slow movement, and potential for high impact, CC762S is the superior choice. For high-speed rotating shafts where embeddability is key, C93200 is more suitable.

Where Does CC762S Shine? Key Application Areas

The robust properties of CC762S make it the go-to material for some of the most demanding industries:

  • Heavy Machinery & Construction: Used for hydraulic cylinder bushings, crane pivot bearings, and excavator arm joints where immense pressure and slow, powerful movements are the norm.

  • Marine & Offshore: Its excellent corrosion resistance makes it perfect for rudder bearings, propeller shaft bushings, and winch components exposed to saltwater.

  • Industrial Equipment: Found in high-strength gears, wear plates for presses, and guide bushings in injection molding machines.

Navigating Global Standards: A Cross-Reference Guide

When sourcing for international projects, knowing the equivalent grades is crucial. CC762S is recognized globally under various standards.

Standard Grade / Designation
European (EN 1982) CC762S / CuZn25Al5Mn4Fe3-C
German (DIN) W-Nr. 2.0598
American (ASTM) C86300 (Manganese Bronze)
Japanese (JIS) HBsC4 / CAC304
ISO CuZn25Al5

At Viiplus.com, we ensure our CC762S materials meet these stringent international standards, guaranteeing quality and interoperability for your global supply chain.
