Products information

UH13wear-resistant copper alloy

It is a special high-strength brass bar with improved strength and wear resistance by solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening of Mn-Si intermetallic compounds.

Positioning of Alloy

The demand for high-strength, wear-resistant copper alloys is growing as the speed and performance of working parts in machinery and equipment increases. UH 13's high strength and machinability make it a cost-effective alternative to stainless steel and bronze for components.

Main features

UH13 has high-strength and excellent wear resistance.

Main applications

It is suitably used for sliding parts such as bearings and gears such as a cylinder block, a shoe, a liner, a thrust metal, a screw nut, a hub wheel, a bush, and pinion gear.

Wear resistance

When referring to the wear test results in the Amsler type abrasion test (under lubrication), the reduced wear amount of UH13 is equal to or less than 1/2 of C5191, and it is possible to confirm the excellent wear resistance.
