What are the advantages and disadvantages of different materials for bushings?

Metal Bushings

Copper Alloy: Low friction, wear-resistant, and highly corrosion-resistant, but relatively expensive. Suitable for high-temperature or impact load scenarios.

Alloy Steel: High strength and good toughness, but requires lubrication. Commonly used in heavy-duty equipment.

Bimetal (e.g., ZGMn13Cr2): Excellent corrosion resistance and lower cost. Suitable for construction machinery.

Non-Metal Bushings

Nylon: Self-lubricating, lightweight, low cost, but prone to deformation at high temperatures.

Graphite: Extremely low friction coefficient, high-temperature resistance, but highly brittle—avoid impact loads.

PTFE: Strong chemical inertness, suitable for corrosive environments, but weak load-bearing capacity.

Composite Bushings

Graphite Copper Bushings: Self-lubricating, high-temperature resistant (above 300°C), but higher cost.

Modified Nylon: Enhanced wear resistance, suitable for light-load applications.

Selection Recommendations:

Comprehensively evaluate load, temperature, and cost.

Prioritize metal for heavy loads.

Select non-metallic for corrosive environments.

Consider composite materials for maintenance-free requirements.
