Quality Bronze Alloys
Bronzes are durable alloys of tin, copper, and other trace elements that are harder than brasses or pure copper. Bronze metals produce minimal friction, are non-sparking and develop a protective patina which makes them an excellent material for architectural, industrial, and specialized applications.

C220 Commercial Bronze possesses a rich and pleasing bronze colour and such practical properties as excellent machinability, ductility, strength and hardness, surpassing gliding.
The alloy has a high resistance to stress-corrosion cracking and dezincification, making it especially suitable for use as an engineering alloy. Commercial Bronze is technically a brass alloy as it is an alloy of 90% Copper and 10% Zinc. Due to its colour and physical properties behaving closer to a bronze than a brass, it is classified as a bronze by the trades.

C385 architectural bronze is primarily used in architecture yet also finds many applications in ornamental hardware. At red heat, it is so plastic that the shapes of most complex sections can be easily extruded.Architectural bronze has a composition of 55-59% Copper, 2.5%-3.5% Lead with the remainder being zinc.
Technically C385 architectural bronze is part of the brass family due to the inclusion of zinc in its composition. Despite its composition, architectural bronze’s colouration and physical properties are such that it is most often referred to as a bronze for practical reasons.

C510 Phosphor Bronze is the most widely used of the phosphor bronzes and is noteworthy among the copper metals for resilience and fatigue endurance. Thanks to its strength, good conductivity and low coefficient of friction.
C510 Phosphor Bronze is commonly found in electrical connectors where repetitive use and operating temperatures make it ideal compared to softer alloys. This metal has a good capacity for being cold worked and can be readily brazed or soldered which lends itself to use in a wide variety of applications.

C932 Bearing Bronze is also referred to as high-leaded tin bronze or SAE 660. It is an alloy of 81-85% copper, 6.3-7.5% tin, 6-8% lead, 1-4% Zinc and trace amounts of iron, nickel and antimony.
This unique composition gives this alloy high machinability, low friction and good lubricity; all of these properties are ideal for bearings, the application from which it derives its name.

Aluminum Bronze is an alloy of copper where aluminum replaces tin as the main alloying metal. Typically containing 6-12% aluminum; other alloying elements such as iron, nickel, manganese, and silicon are sometimes added to aluminium bronzes.
Aluminum Bronzes are valued for their bright gold colour, corrosion resistance and antimicrobial properties.
