Brass Alloy 863

Brass alloy C863, also known as manganese bronze, is a high-strength copper alloy with approximately 60% copper, 39% zinc, and 1% manganese, along with trace amounts of other elements. This specific composition gives C863 excellent mechanical properties, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications, such as industrial machinery components, gears, and bushings. The addition of manganese enhances the alloy's strength, wear resistance, and load-carrying capacity, making it valuable for high-stress and high-load applications. Brass C863 exhibits good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in marine and mildly corrosive environments. Its exceptional casting properties make it a preferred choice for foundry applications. With its combination of strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, brass alloy C863 is a versatile material widely used in industries seeking robust and durable solutions for various components subjected to heavy loads and wear.
