Bronze Hollowbar SAE 863 Oil-Impregnated will finish to the stated dimensions. It is a high strength and wear resistant specialty bronze designed for bearings and other high speed, high temperature, and high friction environments. Through a unique manufacturing process, the bar effectively sweats oil when it heats up and is self lubricating. Once it cools down after work has stopped, it absorbs the oil back into the metal. The addition of iron to the alloy gives 863 higher strength and hardness than 841 oil-impregnated bronze. 863 is used for high speed machinery and hardware.

Mechanical Properties
Chemistry Information : SAE 863 Bronze
The SAE 863 bronze round bar is oil-impregnated, providing self-lubrication by sweating oil when heated and reabsorbing it when cooled. It has higher strength and hardness due to added iron, making it ideal for high-speed, high-temperature, and high-friction environments such as bearings and hardware.
This bronze round bar is available in a maximum length of 5 feet and is sold oversized to finish to stated dimensions. However, custom cutting is not available from the warehouse for this product.
Yes, the SAE 863 alloy offers high strength and wear resistance, enhanced by its oil-impregnated manufacturing process, making it well suited for demanding applications involving high speed and friction.
The bronze round bar weighs approximately 2.45 pounds and is currently in stock, ready to ship with a ship weight of about 1.02 pounds for a 5-foot length.
