Aluminum bronze

Aluminum bronze are the bronze of the future. Once reserved solely for use in wet environments, they are increasingly being preferred over conventional bronze grades for their significantly better mechanical properties. For example, they are being used more and more in high-tech industries for their properties and durability. Their applications, for friction or wear parts of all types under high loading and temperature conditions, are many. They are used primarily for marine-grade fasteners, connectors, fittings, ball joints and bearings.

FRW Carobronze carries many shapes, sizes and thicknesses of aluminum bronze stock: 10-300 mm (round), 10×10 to 200×200 mm (square), 10×20 to 120×400 mm (flat), 10-70 mm (hexagonal) and 3-15 mm (sheets). FRW Carobronze's special aluminum bronze have a tensile strength (Rm) of up to 830 Mpa (N/mm2). The company also carries a wide selection (more than 150 types) of continuous-cast tubes ranging in size from 18×27 mm to 180×200 mm. Grades in stock may be ordered in any quantity, and shipments of single items are possible.

Custom stock can be manufactured in virtually any size. For example, continuous castings can be produced as rings with diameters of more than 3 m or as forgings measuring up to 1.5 m. Each FRW Carobronze product is delivered with a complete 3.1 material certificate upon  request. Ten years ago FRW Carobronze already understood the potential of these products and expanded its inventory and ranges of grades to be able to meet the needs of its customers in the most demanding sectors of industry. It also offers custom research of materials and can have special alloys made on request.
