C54400 PHOSPHOR BRONZE is an excellent wrought material for use in the manufacture of bearings. C54400 Phosphor Bronze is also free cutting due to its nominal 3.5% lead content. When annealed, the metal can be bent, formed, blanked and stamped. Like other phosphor bronze alloys, it is known for its toughness, strength, low coefficient of friction and fine grain. The alloy is also resistant to fatigue, wear, and chemical corrosion. C54400 Phosphor Bronze conforms to specification ASTM B139
