BRONZE

BRONZE – PROPERTIES, APPLICATIONS, AND BENEFITS


Bronze is a high-quality copper alloy characterized by its high wear resistance, good corrosion resistance, and excellent mechanical properties. Due to its technical characteristics, bronze is used in numerous industrial and mechanical engineering applications.


Bronze possesses high resistance to mechanical stress and is particularly suitable for applications involving friction, movement, and high loads. Furthermore, bronze exhibits good resistance to corrosion, seawater, and various industrial environments.


The material is easily machinable and suitable for turning, milling, drilling, and cutting operations. Different bronze alloys allow the properties to be specifically tailored to meet technical requirements.
