Leaded Tin Bronze or High Leaded Tin Bronze are less expensive when compared to other bearing alloys. Primary function of this alloy is to improve machinability. Leaded Bronzes are well known for their resistance towards Corrosion and abrasion. The higher lead content allows the alloy to retain favourable thermal conductivity and good lubricity.
LTB4 an Indian Standard containing high proportion of Lead finds its usage in bearings and bushings under poor lubrication conditions. LTB4 is widely selected for its self lubrication properties.

AEPL produces C92200, C92300, C92400, C92500, C92600, C92700, C92900, C93100, C93200, C93400, C93500, C93600, C93700, C93800, C93900, C94000, C94400, C94500, CC490K, CC495K, CC498K, CC499K, CuPb10Sn, CuPb10Sn10, CuSn10Pb10, CuSn10Pb5, CuSn7Pb6Zn3, LB-2, LBC-3, LBC-4, LTB-5, Leaded Tin Bronze alloy in the form of Certified Ingots weighing from 8 to 10 Kgs each.
AEPL has implemented a quality system for Copper Based Alloys where all processes are monitored from start to finish i.e. from procurement of raw material, their combination, manufacturing processes, measurement and chemical analysis. We maintain our own laboratory with calibrated equipments to ensure delivery of certified ingots as per International Standards and satisfy clients' requirements. The equipment includes Optical Emission Spectrometer which uses arc and spark excitation technology. Samples of test reports are available upon request.
AEPL manufactures and supplies Copper Alloys products to Domestic as well as International Markets. Located at a single site, our smaller foundries are equipped to use in-house certified ingots and create complex shapes of Copper alloy castings and turn them into finished components using Drilling, Grinding and CNC turning centres.
