Gun Metal Material
Gun Metal is a copper-based alloy traditionally used for components requiring a combination of strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and good machining characteristics. It is commonly associated with copper-tin alloys and is widely used for engineering components.
Gun Metal is particularly suitable for applications involving sliding surfaces, bearings, bushes, valves, pumps, flanges and other components where reliable mechanical performance and resistance to wear are important.
SHIV ENTERPRISE supplies Gun Metal products in different forms and configurations according to customer requirements, drawings, dimensions and application needs.

Chemical Composition
The chemical composition of Gun Metal varies according to the specific grade and applicable standard. A typical copper-tin Gun Metal composition may contain the following elements:
| Element | Typical Composition |
|---|---|
| Copper (Cu) | Approx. 85–88% |
| Tin (Sn) | Approx. 8–10% |
| Zinc (Zn) | Approx. 2–5% |
| Lead (Pb) | Small percentage, depending on grade |
| Other Elements | Residual / grade dependent |
Important: Gun Metal composition can differ significantly depending on the grade, standard and application. Final chemical values should be confirmed against the applicable material specification or customer requirement.
Mechanical Properties
Typical mechanical properties depend on the exact Gun Metal grade, manufacturing method, heat treatment and product form. Representative values may include:
| Property | Typical Value / Range |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | Approx. 200–300 MPa |
| Yield Strength | Grade dependent |
| Elongation | Approx. 5–15% |
| Hardness | Typically around 60–90 HB |
| Density | Approx. 8.7–8.9 g/cm³ |
Mechanical properties are indicative only. Actual values depend on the selected grade, casting condition, product dimensions and applicable specification.
