ALUMINIUM BRONZE AND OTHER COPPER ALLOYS
Aluminium bronze is a metal alloy mainly consisting of copper and aluminium.
Combining these metals with other elements makes aluminium bronze ingots ideal for manufacturing products with high mechanical features and high resistance to corrosion. As a matter of fact, these properties make them particularly suitable for use in the shipbuilding and manufacturing industry.
Applications:
Ship propellers
Glassware and bottle moulds
Bearings
Pumps and Valves
Filters and Gear systems
