Bronze is a copper and tin alloy. The high copper content makes it more corrosion resistant than brass. It is also harder and stronger than copper. Bronze can be made to be porous, which holds the oil in the bushing/bearing making for it "self-lubricating" or "oil-retaining".
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. (2/3rds copper 1/3rd zinc normally) Either can contain other metals, bronze bushings often have silicon in them for instance. .tim PS: yes, the bushing should always be designed to wear before the linkage. But brass should in fact wear quicker then the steel linkage. Although not as fast (or as low friction) as with a plastic. |
