Brass vs. Bronze for Bearings and Machined Parts: A Specifier's Guide
Choose brass or bronze by alloy grade, not by name. Compare C83600, C86300, C90700 under ASTM B505 for load, wear, corrosion, and machinability.

Choose brass or bronze by alloy grade, not by name. Compare C83600, C86300, C90700 under ASTM B505 for load, wear, corrosion, and machinability.
Continue readingThe 2026 Bunting standard makes a titanium walkout term conditional; documented load, wear, machining, and conductivity requirements decide the alloy.
Continue readingMost parts don't need titanium. Copper alloys machine cheaper and last longer where wear and duty rule. Titanium is for extremes only.
Continue readingSelecting bunting architectural metals starts with exposure and load, not metal names. Aluminum, bronze and brass mechanisms explained, with alloy-number spec rules.
