Manganese Bronze Data Sheet

This material data sheet provides information on the chemical composition, physical properties, mechanical properties, fabrication practices, heat treatment, and typical uses of manganese bronze (high strength yellow brass). The document lists the nominal and allowable ranges for various elements in the alloy composition. It also includes tables with data on the material's melting points, density, electrical and thermal properties, coefficients, and mechanical properties like tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation. The sheet indicates that the alloy has good suitability for oxyacetylene welding, gas shielded arc welding, and coated metal arc welding. It can be stress relieved by heating to 500°F for an hour per inch of thickness.
