SAE660 Bronze Tube 44.45mm OD x 19mm ID | Mill Finish | 12.7mm Wall Thickness | Fair Corrosion Resistance | Poor Weldability | 12.5kg/m | High-Strength Tubing - Linear Metre

The SAE660 Bronze Tube, sized at 44.45mm outer diameter (OD) and 19mm inner diameter (ID), is a robust and versatile component designed for a range of demanding industrial applications. Made from high-performance SAE660 bronze, this tube is known for its excellent wear resistance, making it an ideal material for applications where heavy loads and continuous use are expected.

Key Features

• Material: Crafted from SAE660 bronze, this tube exhibits good machinability and is particularly useful for creating bushings, bearings, and other machine parts that require durability and precision.

• Corrosion Resistance: With fair corrosion resistance, this bronze tube is suitable for environments that encounter moderate exposure to corrosive elements such as moisture or industrial fluids. While not designed for high-corrosion environments, it offers sufficient protection for general-purpose applications.

• Wall Thickness and Strength: Featuring a 12.7mm wall thickness, this tube offers both structural integrity and reliability. The thicker walls enhance its ability to withstand pressure and mechanical stress, making it suitable for applications requiring higher strength.

• Weldability: This tube is characterised by poor weldability, which means that welding should be avoided in favour of mechanical fastening techniques. While this may limit certain assembly methods, its strength and durability make it an excellent candidate for press fitting or other non-welded connections.

• Finish: The mill finish provides a smooth and uniform surface, making the tube easy to work with and aesthetically appealing for industrial and decorative use alike. This finish ensures that the tube arrives clean and ready for further processing or installation.

• Weight and Durability: With a weight of 12.5kg per metre, this bronze tube offers both heft and stability, essential for heavy-duty applications. It is capable of withstanding significant wear, making it ideal for use in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and engineering.

Applications

The SAE660 Bronze Tube (44.45mm x 19mm) is versatile and suitable for a wide range of industrial uses, including:

• Bearings and Bushings: The high wear resistance of SAE660 bronze makes this tube an excellent choice for use in bushings and bearings, especially where heavy loads or continuous use is expected.

• Machinery Components: Its strength and durability are ideal for creating various machine parts that require precision and resilience, particularly in industries such as manufacturing and automotive engineering.

• Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems: Due to its structural integrity, this tube is suitable for use in hydraulic or pneumatic systems where reliability and long-lasting performance are critical.

• Construction and Engineering Projects: Its versatility makes it a valuable component for construction and engineering applications, where its strength and resistance to wear contribute to project longevity and performance.
