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.

Chemistry Information : SAE 863 Bronze
This bronze round bar is made from SAE 863 alloy, known for its high strength and wear resistance. It is oil-impregnated, which allows it to self-lubricate by sweating oil when heated and reabsorbing it when cooled, making it ideal for high-speed, high-temperature, and high-friction environments.
This product is available in a maximum length of 5 feet and is sold as a single piece. However, custom cutting is not available from the warehouse for this item.
Yes, the SAE 863 bronze round bar is specifically designed for bearings and other hardware used in high-speed machinery due to its high strength, hardness, and self-lubricating oil-impregnated properties.
The bronze round bar weighs approximately 8.53 pounds for the 5-foot length and is currently in stock and available for immediate shipment.
