Tegostar 738

Tegostar 738 is a bearing metal based on tin without lead, cadmium, nickel and arsenic. The alloy fulfils the current environmental requirements and possesses, furthermore, optimum technical properties for static and dynamic loads.

In addition Tegostar has a reduced plastic deformation characteristic (strain in creep). It is this combination that makes the improved properties of the material usable to a larger extent. Tegostar 738 is a higher-quality replacement for Tego V738, Tegotenax S, Tego HM07 and standard alloys.
