Key Notes:
- Overlaps (e.g., C93700/C9371 in leaded tin bronze) indicate versatile alloys used across bush types.
- Selection depends on load, speed, lubrication, and environment (e.g., phosphor bronze for high-strength springs/bushes; aluminum bronze for marine/propeller apps).
- Always verify with latest standards, as designations can evolve. For custom bushes, consult manufacturers for traceability to ASTM, EN, or ISO certifications.
- Additional alloys exist (e.g., manganese bronze, high-tin bronze); this covers the most common from your list.
If you need a specific alloy comparison, CAD drawings, material properties (e.g., hardness, tensile strength), or verification against a particular standard, provide more details!
Available Bush Types & Key FeaturesHere’s a quick overview of the bush categories you mentioned, with recommended alloys based on common standards (ASTM, JIS, BS, EN, DIN). These are tailored for wear resistance, corrosion protection, load-bearing, and lubrication properties.

Notes on Phosphorous Bronze: Often abbreviated as “Phosphor Bronze” (with the added ‘r’ for the phosphorus content). It’s the same material—excellent for self-lubricating bushes.Custom Manufacturing Process
- Submit Your Requirements: Share drawings (PDF, CAD), dimensions (ID, OD, length, tolerances), quantity, and application details (e.g., load, speed, environment).
- Material Selection: We’ll recommend alloys from the table above or alternatives (e.g., leaded for machinability, nickel-added for strength).
- Prototyping & Testing: Rapid samples available; we ensure compliance with standards like ASTM B505 for continuous cast bushes.
- Production: CNC machining, centrifugal/sand casting, or sintering. Finishes: plain, grooved, flanged, or graphite-plugged for self-lubrication.
- Quality Assurance: Full traceability, material certs (chemical composition, mechanical properties), and testing (hardness, tensile strength).
How to Proceed
- Reply with details: Attach drawings/files or describe specs (e.g., “ID 50mm, OD 60mm, Length 100mm, Alloy C95400”).
- Quote Request: Provide quantity and delivery timeline for a free quote (typically 24-48 hours).
- Minimum Order: Flexible—from prototypes (500 pcs) to bulk (100000+ pcs).
- Lead Time: 4-6 weeks for customs, according the quantity; expedited options available.
- Pricing Factors: Based on alloy, size, complexity, and volume. Contact for competitive rates.
Metal Bushing (Lubricated Metal) -Self-Lubricating Bushing Materials
Bushings are specialized, self-lubricating metal components widely utilized across various industries due to their durability and low maintenance requirements. Self-lubricating metal bushings are engineered to function without additional lubrication in numerous applications, thereby minimizing maintenance needs. These bushings are available in various series and configurations, such as flanged bushings and split bearings, to meet specific application requirements.
