Perth Bronze Machining

What is Bronze?

Bronze is a copper-based alloy known for its strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and suitability for precision machining.

Bronze is commonly made from copper and tin, although different grades may also contain elements such as aluminium, silicon, phosphorus, or manganese.

The composition of bronze can vary considerably depending on the required application. Changes to the alloy can affect its strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, friction characteristics, and machinability.

Bronze can be sourced in a range of bar sizes and grades, and machined to suit customer needs.

Bronze Properties

Bronze Advantages and Disadvantages

Bronze is a family of copper based alloys known for its durability, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Depending on the grade, bronze can offer excellent friction characteristics and mechanical strength.

Bronze’s main advantages are:

Excellent wear resistance
Favourable friction properties
Strong corrosion resistance
High strength & load capacity
Highly recyclable
Suitable for machining

The main disadvantage of brass is that it can be less ductile and more brittle than brass. Furthermore, it has lower electrical conductivity and is more expensive.
