C66800
Manganeze Bronze Alloy
MUELLER Alloy 6680 is a non-leaded copper-base alloy (manganese bronze) with relatively good ductility and fair machinability. It can be used with soft or hard mating members where moderate strength is sufficient. C66800 is a high tensile brass containing silicon and manganese. In conjunction with good fatigue strength, this alloy possesses excellent wear resistance.
