Copper Alloy BC6 consists of main components of copper, tin, lead and zinc. The presence of the metallic element tin creates high mechanical properties and this addition has increased the cost of materials. For these reasons, the manufacturer scientifically calculates the appropriate percentage (%) of tin to apply in which working environment is most optimal, when high tin is needed and when low. According to each application and working environment of each equipment system, copper alloy marks appear with many different codes, giving us different standards to apply in the most effective and cost-optimized way. This BC6 Copper Alloy is the most typical one.

BC6 Copper Alloy has very good corrosion resistance, so it is commonly used to process and manufacture ball bearings and bearings, working in places with high concentrated temperatures. However, it requires the operating shaft to have a higher hardness than Bronze Alloy BC6 and to be lubricated actively and regularly. In particular, alignment during installation needs to be accurate.
