Material Data Sheet: Manganese Bronze (High Strength Yellow Brass)

This document provides information on the chemical composition, physical properties, mechanical properties, fabrication practices, heat treatment, and typical uses of manganese bronze, a high strength yellow brass alloy. The nominal chemical composition includes 58% copper, 0.5% tin, 39% zinc, 1.2% iron, 1% aluminum, and 0.8% manganese. It lists properties such as a melting point between 880-862°C, density of 8.33 g/cm3, tensile strength of 448-490 MPa, and elongation of 20-30% in 51mm. Typical applications for manganese bronze include brackets, gears, lever arms, and machinery parts requiring strength and toughness.
