Bronze

Bronze C954 (aluminum bronze) is known for its high strength and corrosion resistance when compared to other bronze alloys. In atmospheric conditions, this alloy is tarnish- and corrosion-resistant; at high temperatures it has low oxidation rates.

Bronze C932, more commonly known as bearing bronze, is typically used in bushing and bearing applications. It offers easy machinability as well as long lifespan for those situations where wear is an important factor.

More generally, the material is used in the construction of sculptures, musical instruments and medals, and in industrial applications such as bushings and bearings, where its low metal on metal friction is an advantage.

Bronze also has nautical applications because of its resistance to corrosion.

Other applications include bearings and bushings, pump impellers, valve components, wire brushes, chemical hardware, gears, and pipe fittings.
