Sliding bronze wear plates are designed to provide a self-lubricating, durable surface for various industrial applications. These plates come in a range of sizes, shapes, and alloys, allowing for customization to meet specific requirements. They are ideal for use in areas where lubrication is difficult or where a maintenance-free operation is desired. The incorporation of graphite within these bronze plates enhances their self-lubricating properties, making them suitable for high load and high-speed applications. Available for customization, these wear plates can be specified by dimensions including width and thickness to fit the precise needs of the machinery or equipment they are used in.

Brass graphite wear plates are designed for applications requiring both the high thermal conductivity of brass and the self-lubricating properties of graphite. These plates typically incorporate graphite plugs or solid lubricant embedded within the brass substrate, offering continuous lubrication during operation. This combination reduces wear and friction, enhancing the durability and performance of machinery in various industrial settings. Such wear plates are ideal for high-load, high-speed applications where traditional lubrication might fail or is not feasible. The self-lubricating feature of graphite within the brass matrix makes these wear plates suitable for use in environments where maintenance is challenging.

Graphite-impregnated phosphor bronze slide plates represent a combination of two materials with high wear resistance and low friction coefficients: graphite and phosphor bronze. Let’s break down what each component contributes:

1. Graphite: Graphite is known for its excellent lubrication properties, high-temperature resistance, and resistance to most chemicals. It is commonly used to decrease friction in sliding parts, enhancing wear resistance, and reducing the risk of galling and seizing.
2. Phosphor bronze: This is an alloy of copper with 0.5-11% of tin and 0.01-0.35% phosphorus. The tin increases the corrosion resistance and strength of the material. Phosphorus increases the wear resistance and stiffness of the alloy. Phosphor bronze has good spring qualities, high fatigue resistance, and excellent formability, making it ideal for various applications, including bearings and bushings, where resistance to wear, chemical corrosion, and fatigue is crucial.

When graphite is impregnated into phosphor bronze, it forms a composite material that effectively combines the strengths of both materials. The resulting material has an excellent bearing surface, combining the self-lubrication of graphite with the strength, durability, and corrosion resistance of phosphor bronze.

This type of slide plate material is typically used in applications where loads are moderate, but the operation may include conditions of intermittent operation, high sliding speeds, or the potential for lubrication failure, such as in heavy industrial machinery, marine environments, or other challenging applications.

Graphite plugged sliding bronze wear plate

Graphite plugged sliding bronze wear plate is made of solid lubricant with a special formula, which is based on tin bronze and inlaid on the surface according to certain Angle and density. It is widely used in the metallurgical industry, Marine industry, miner machinery, petroleum machinery, power generation equipment, and so on.

It can work for a long time under the condition of oil-free lubrication or water lubrication, which breaks through the limitations of the general bearing depending on oil film lubrication. During use, friction heat causes friction between the solid lubricant and the shaft to form excellent lubrication conditions for oil and powder to coexist, which not only protects the shaft from wear but also perpetuates the solid lubrication characteristics.

Wear Products advantages

1. Flexible, simple, convenient design, a wide range of use;
Fuel supply system in the mechanical design is a work, time-consuming device, using solid self-lubricating bearings do not need to consider when designing refueling device, save gas devices, as well as for a wide variety of special occasions, solid self-lubricating bearing design into various shapes, so as to meet the needs of a variety of special occasions, using solid self-lubricating bearings, can significantly reduce the mechanical maintenance, oil, and other expenses.
2. No oil can be used;
Since solid lubricant is greater than the linear expansion coefficient of the metal matrix, so when to run solid self-lubricating bearings, the oil film will be transferred to the grinding and implemented on a self-lubrication, so solid self-lubricating bearings can be used in the place where is hard to go and can’t go or grease, even in the case of low speed and high load also can have good lubrication effect.
3. Low use cost;
The traditional mechanical design, in a certain operating time, wants to often come on maintenance, check the oil, the oil supply device was clear, the body itself and the surrounding environment pollution caused by regular gas, result in an increase in maintenance costs, realize self-lubrication, not only can realize the environment clean and tidy, and greatly reduce the cost of the use of lubricating oil.
4. Under the condition of high load and low rotating speed, it can give play to superior performance;
Solid self-lubricating bearing is made of centrifugal casting high strength alloy brass substrate, have the effect of bearing load, with special formula with good self-lubricating properties of graphite lubricant, self-lubricating effect, so it’s a combination of their respective advantages, even in high load, low speed, can produce superior performance.
5. Excellent wear resistance can be developed in places where the oil film is difficult to form, such as reciprocating motion, rocking motion, and frequent starting and stopping;
The arrangement principle of solid self-lubricating bearing lubricants is to ensure that there are lubricants in each part of the grinding part in the process of operation, so the arrangement of lubricants must be determined according to the direction of the movement of the grinding part.
6. The product cost is more competitive, compared with similar products, the service life is longer, the maintenance is less, the replacement cycle is long, the performance is good.
