OVERVIEW
Tiger Bronze Bushing is a versatile, all-purpose bronze bushing alloy that can be easily machined down to a wide array of machined parts, components, bronze bushing, bronze sleeve and bronze guide with relative ease. Tiger Bronze has good pressure-tight properties making it ideal for various pump or valve parts. Tiger Bronze cost efficiency, wide selection of sizes (over >300 standard sizes in ¼" increments) combined with moderate strength, good machinability and adaptability makes this the “workhorse” among bronze bushing alloys. Tiger Bronze is the preferred bronze bushing alloy of choice as replacement for various OEM bronze parts due to its versatility, consistency and unmatched reliability
