Evaluation of Axial Bearing Properties Bronze C93200-Steel St37

In this paper, the goal is to study the properties of axial bearing C93200-St37 that has been produced through the casting using pre-mould. In order to bond, the pre-mould are cleaned chemically. Then, the bronze C93200 is melted and then solidified in St37 pre-mould. The hardness has been measured by using the Vickers test triple; the Bond’s strength has been measured by using the shear test triple; wear resistance has been measured by using pin-on-disc machine and corrosion resistance has been measured by using salt spray method. The results indicate that the minimum shear strength of bond is at least 94.8 MPa; hardness of bronze, bond and St37 are 80, 100 and 120 HV, respectively; wear rate of bronze is 100% with applying stress of 7.9 MPa and without lubrication by lose weights; and corrosion rate of bronze is 0.86% by lose weights.
