    Alloycompositionlead-freeApplications
    Caro-DurCuNi2Si      ✓Highly resilient material with very good heat resistance and
    thermal conductivity for valve guides, die-casting pistons,...
    Caro-Bronze (Wieland-B12)CuSn8P      ✓High purity ensures maximum load-bearing capacity.
    Alloy composition and manufacturing process result in
    excellent sliding properties
    Wieland-B09CuSn8      ✓Heavy-duty bronze with very good high-temperature
    strength, good corrosion resistance, highly wear-resistant.
    Wieland-B27CuSn8NiP      ✓Extremely high load bearing material with good
    heat resistance and good sliding properties for highly
    loaded  applications, e.g. for connecting rod bushings
    Wieland-G07CuSn7Zn4Pb7-C-GC      ×Medium-hard bearing material with good sliding and
    emergency running properties
    Wieland-G12CuSn12-C-GC      ×Tough and hard bearing material with good sliding
    properties and good wear resistance
    Wieland-G14CuSn14-C-GC      ×Higher load capacity than G12
    Wieland-G21CuSn10Pb10-C-GC      ×Higher load capacity than G22 with still high emergency
    running properties
    Wieland-G22CuSn10Pb10-C-GC      ×Soft material with very good emergency running properties;
    for pumps, compressors, presses
    Wieland-G66CuNi6Sn6      ✓Material for very high loads, mainly used
    in mechanical engineering, e.g., toggle lever bushings
    Wieland-GA9CuSn5Pb20-C-GC      ×Very soft material with ideal emergency running properties.
    Use in case of insufficient lubrication. Well suited for water
    lubrication
    Wieland-L67CuNi6Sn6      ✓Very wear-resistant material with very good
    temperature resistance, very high mech. load capacity for
    connecting rod bushings in motorcycles, cars, trucks
    Wieland-L66CuNi6Sn6      ✓Very wear-resistant material with very good
    temperature resistance, very high mech. load capacity for
    rolled bushings (e.g. connecting rod bushings)
    Wieland-SA5CuZn34Mn3Si1Pb1      ×Special brass in which hard manganese silicides provide
    high wear resistance
    Wieland-SA9CuZn34Mn3Si1Pb      ×More ductile than Wieland-SA5 and thus better for
    extreme alternating loads
    Wieland-SB7CuZn37Mn2Ni2Pb1Si1      ×Specially developed for free-running sliding shoes
    Wieland-SB8CuZn31Si1      ×Heavy duty special brass with high temperature strength,
    wear resistant
    Wieland-SC5CuZn25Al5Ni4Fe3      ✓High strength special brass, kneading material
    Wieland-S31CuZn31Si1      ×Heavy-duty special brass with good heat resistance,
    good corrosion resistance, wear resistant
    Wieland-S37CuZn37Al1      ×Similar structure as Wieland-S40,
    but not as highly loadable
    Wieland-S40CuZn37Mn3Al2PbSi      ×Very high loadable special brass with good
    corrosion resistance and good sliding friction coefficient
    Wieland-SX1CuZn31Mn2Al1Si1NiFe      ✓Material with good thermal conductivity and heat resistance,
    good sliding properties, extremely high wear resistance
    for valve guides, turbocharger bushings,...
    Wieland-U17CuAl10Ni5Fe4      ✓Buhings for bearing the piston pin in very highly loaded
    areas
    Wieland-U18CuAl10Fe      ✓

    Alloy has high strength and very good wear properties, used for

    static and dynamic high loaded applications. The material is
    Nickel-free and is approved for use in food industry.

    Wieland-U36CuAl11Fe6Ni6      ✓Bushings for the bearing of the connecting rod and piston
    pin in very heavily loaded areas
