Forging temperature on C93800 bronze alloy 1

[fedaqui]

We would like to forge C93800 material. Could someone please provide a recommended forging temperature of C93800 bronze alloy? We plan on heating, pressing in a mechanical 2500 ton forge press, and then rolling to a certain diameter.

Thanks David

C93800 is one of the casting grades. You might look at the Copper Development Association website for information on an equivalent wrought grade.

David,

Bronze with 2-4% Pb is considered the limit for acceptable forging. This alloy is not intended for hot working.
