Aluminium Bronze

Aluminium Bronze is characterised by its excellent resistance to corrosion in sea water

Aluminium bronze is a type of bronze in which aluminium is the main alloying metal added to copper, in contrast to standard bronze (copper and tin) or brass (copper and zinc).A variety of aluminium bronzes of differing compositions have found industrial use, with most ranging from 5% to 11% aluminium by weight, the remaining mass being copper; other alloying agents such as iron, nickel, manganese, and silicon are also sometimes added to aluminium bronzes.

Aluminium bronzes are in the highest demand from the following industries and areas:

General sea water-related serviceWater supplyOil and petrochemical industries (i.e. tools for use in non-sparking environments)Specialized anti-corrosive applicationsCertain structural retrofit building applications
