TCB30 Bimetal Bushing
Structure Characteristics and Applications
TCB301 bimetal bushing is backed with high quality low carbon steel with tin-lead-bronze alloy(CuSn10Pb10) sintered on its surface. To effectively decrease abrasion, its alloy surface can be machined with ball shaped oil sockets for easier oil storage. When necessary, it could be plated copper or tin on the steel back. It can be applied to conditions of mediate load with mediate or high running belocity and conditions with enormous impact load. In mechanical applications, TCB301 is used to make wrapped bushes, thrust washer and bushes on connecting rod level of gas engine.

Physical and Mechanical Performance
Physical and Mechanical Performance
Strong anti-fatigue, and good load and impact bushing with good erosion protection performance. When mating with quenched hard axis, the hardness of the axis must not be less than 53HRC.Main Factors that Influence the Service life of the Bushing
Main Factors that Influence the Service life of the Bushing
1).PV ValuePV value is an effective criterion to calculate the service life of TCB301. If there is need to prolong the service Life, PV value must be reduced.
2).Environment Temperature
The higher the working temperature is, the shorter the life of the products would be.
3).Roughness
If Roughness of the mating surface Ra>0.63, it will rapidly shorten the service life of the TCB301. Therefore, Roughness of the mating surface must be controlled to Ra≤0.63.
