Materials / Bronze Alloys
Bronze Castings
Bronzes deliver corrosion resistance, low friction and high load capacity — essential in marine, hydraulic and bearing applications. Monmet supplies the full range of copper-base alloys to the standards named on your drawing or purchase order.
Quick answer
Bronze alloys deliver corrosion resistance, low friction and high load capacity for bearings, bushings, marine propellers and worm gears. Aluminum, manganese, tin and leaded bronze each suit a different service — from seawater exposure to embedded lubrication. Monmet supplies the full range of copper-base alloys to the standards on your drawing.
Alloy Families
Aluminum bronze (propellers, pump impellers), manganese bronze (gears, marine), tin bronze (bearings), leaded bronze (bushings).
Properties
Properties vary by alloy. Excellent seawater corrosion resistance (nickel aluminum bronze), high wear resistance with embedded lubrication (leaded grades).
Processes
Sand cast, centrifugally cast (sleeves, rings) and continuous cast (bar and tube stock). Heat treatment of aluminum bronze available for property enhancement.
