Lead-Free Bronze
(Bi-Metal Strip) Bearing Powders
Our range of Lead-Free Bronzes designed for Bi-Metal Strip destined for Steel-Backed Bearings has been developed over many years. They are manufactured on site here in Rochdale and may be engineered to suit individual customer specifications and requirements.
These powders have been developed in response to demands to eradicate the use of lead (Pb) in automotive applications due to environmental issues and supporting legislation. We deliver these powders to customers worldwide and believe we are a leader in the field in terms of quality, product development and performance.

Usage & Application
Lead-Free Bronze Powders are used in the manufacture of steel-backed bearings (or bi-metal strip) for large engine bearings (automotive, agricultural vehicles, marine engines, etc.) where lead (Pb)- replacement is a necessity and where higher hardness/wear resistance may also be needed, depending upon the end-application.
