Further processing

Alzen® 305 is a white bronze alloy (zinc-copper-aluminum) specially developed by voestalpine. Compared to bronze and other alloys, it is characterized by high wear resistance, excellent sliding properties and the versatile application and machining possibilities. Another - certainly convincing - argument are the excellent emergency running properties.

The advantages at a glance

Longer service life and high wear resistance
Price advantages due to low specific weight
Very good machinability, higher cutting speeds, shorter machining times
No heat treatment necessary after machining
Very good sliding, running and emergency running properties
Better embedding properties
Higher thermal conductivity
Better damping capacity, therefore quieter
Better wettability with lubricants
Low friction value largely avoids "stick slip effect
Stable price (independent of copper and tin market)

Areas of application

Well-known companies from demanding industries ranging from mechanical engineering, the automotive, construction and stone industries to agriculture and forestry rely on ALZEN® from voestalpine. They use ALZEN® for a wide variety of products. The range extends from rods, bushings, tubes, and sheets to plain bearings, sliding elements, spindle nuts, worm gears, sealing rings, roller bearing cages, and hydraulic parts.

Machining options

The excellent machinability compared to Cu-based bearing metals is a particular advantage. ALZEN® is very well suited for the following machining operations:

Sawing
Milling
Gear cutting
drilling
Bright turning
Polishing
Gluing
Soldering
Reaming
Pulling in
Pressing in and on
Shrinking on
Coating

Application notes

The mating material should be at least 15 HRC harder
Grease or oil well during assembly - no special oils or greases are required
The installation clearance must be adapted to the operating conditions
No rusting
Can only be used to a limited extent under the influence of chemically aggressive media
