Leaded tin bronze alloys are free cutting and retain favorable thermal conductivity and good lubricity due to the presence of lead. Alloy C93200, also termed C932, Bearing Bronze, SAE 660, SAE 660 Bronze, and SAE 660 Bearing Bronze, is considered this family’s workhorse alloy and is widely used in many bearing applications
