CW713R
DESCRIPTION
CW713R is a special brass with very high wear resistance due to silicides embedded in the structure. This alloy is used for slide bearings and valve guides as well as for construction components in mechanical engineering. This alloy is also highly suitable for hot stamped parts requiring higher mechanical strength and higher wear resistance
