ALUMINIUM BRONZE ALLOYS
ALUMINIUM BRONZE ALLOYS
Aluminum Bronze alloys belong to a group of copper-based alloys that incorporate iron and nickel in their composition, with aluminum serving as the main alloying component. The inclusion of aluminum notably enhances the strength, comparable to that of medium carbon steel. Moreover, aluminum bronze offers outstanding corrosion resistance properties. This combination of strength and corrosion resistance led to the initial utilization of aluminum bronze.
​
The alloy of copper and aluminum is known for its single alpha phase with ductility and corrosion resistance. A higher aluminum content leads to the emergence of a beta phase. Aluminum Bronzes are versatile, offering strength, hardness, wear resistance, and more. Their properties, including resistance to oxidation and ease of weldability, expand their application possibilities.

PROPERTIES OF ALUMINUM BRONZE ALLOYS
Excellent strength, similar to that of low alloy steels.
​
Excellent corrosion resistance, especially in seawater and similar environments, where the alloys often outperform many stainless steels.
​
High-Temperature Fatigue Resistance, favorable for high-temperature applications, for short or long-term usage, ensuring a long service life.
Good resistance to creep, making the alloys useful at elevated temperatures.
Oxidation resistance, for exposure at elevated temperatures and in oxidizing environments.
Good weldability, making fabrication economical Readily machined, when compared with other high-duty alloys.
Low magnetic susceptibility, useful for many special applications.
Common Aluminum Bronze Alloys And Some Typical Applications
In the Aluminum Bronze family, there are two primary groups – Aluminum Bronze and Nickel Aluminum Bronze. Aluminum Bronze typically consists of around 9-14% aluminum and 4% iron, whereas Nickel Aluminum Bronze includes approximately 9-11% aluminum, 4% iron, and 5% nickel. The inclusion of nickel in the latter enhances the material's corrosion resistance, complementing its existing strength in this aspect.
