Project Description
W-7
EN 1982 CC493KCuSn7ZnPb
- Wisco’s W-7 is tin bronze also known as red bronze or leaded gunmetal.
- It is the most widely used alloy in the market
- The closest international standards are the ASTM B505 C93200 and RG7 DIN 1705.
- It has an excellent resistance and elongation correlation
- It is a semi-hard material that is resistant to wear, corrosion and sea water. General use.
- Wisco has a large stock of rectangular bars and round solid and hollow bars with immediate availability.
