What is Silicon Aluminum Bronze?

Silicon aluminum bronze combines the self-lubricity of the silicon with the higher mechanical properties of aluminum bronze. It is sometimes used in place of C63000 nickel aluminum bronze where specifications permit. C64200 silicon aluminum bronze is free-machining and has good anti-galling and anti-seizing properties.
