Aluminum Bronze: A Buyer Guide

Aluminum Bronze: A Buyer Guide

Short answer: Aluminum bronze is a copper-aluminium alloy that is the strongest and most wear and seawater resistant of the bronzes, so C954 and C955 serve high-load bushings and gears, C632 and C958 serve marine and pump duty and C614 serves formed corrosive parts, all supplied as certified bar, plate and castings where strength and seawater life matter more than cost.
