Steel CuPb10Sn10 bimetal bearing bushes are widely used in the connecting rods of automotive engines due to their exceptional wear resistance and load-bearing capabilities. These bushes are composed of a steel backing with a CuPb10Sn10 alloy overlay, which provides superior tribological properties for engine applications.
The steel backing offers strength and rigidity, while the CuPb10Sn10 overlay exhibits excellent sliding properties, high fatigue strength, and good thermal conductivity. The copper-based alloy is composed of copper, lead (Pb), and tin (Sn) in a 10% each ratio, which provides a balance between strength, ductility, and wear resistance.
The bimetal construction of these bearing bushes allows for the optimal combination of material properties. The steel backing ensures durability and rigidity, while the CuPb10Sn10 overlay provides the necessary tribological characteristics for efficient engine operation. This combination of materials results in a bearing bush that can withstand the high temperatures, pressures, and dynamic loads generated by the reciprocating motion of the connecting rod.
In addition to their material properties, the precision manufacturing process ensures that the bearing bushes fit precisely into the connecting rod and crankshaft journals. This precise fit reduces friction and wear, improving engine efficiency and durability.
Overall, Steel CuPb10Sn10 bimetal bearing bushes are a reliable choice for automotive engine connecting rods. Their superior wear resistance, load-bearing capabilities, and precise fit make them essential components for ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of automotive engines.

The standard sizes are fitted with lubrication indents on the running surface. For standard bearings is normally the steel backing copper plated to improve the corrosion resistance. The layer of lead bronze makes it possible to use these bearings with relatively long lubrication intervals.
Bimetal-bearings can be manufactured with a thicker lead bronze layer for applications where the bearing has to be machined after mounting. The material of the layer can be fitted to the special needs of the application in question.
