Features of the use of bronze

Are you interested in the specifics of the use of bronze and bronze alloys from the supplier company AvecGlob? Here you will find the necessary information on this topic.

Areas of use of bronze alloys

Bronze, as a copper alloy, has a huge variety of applications that reflect its universal and specific physical, mechanical and chemical properties. Some common examples are the high electrical conductivity of most bronzes, the excellent qualities of deep drawing bronze sheets used in architecture, the low friction coefficient for bearing bronze, the resonant properties of bell-shaped bronze, and the corrosion resistance in seawater for some bronze alloys.

Silicon bronze is widely used in the electronic and electrotechnical industries. In the production of products that withstand significant contact stress, aluminum bronze is used.

Bronze is the most popular metal for high-quality bells and plates, and more recently for some musical instruments, such as saxophones. Bronze is also widely used for sculptures of cast metal. Conventional bronze alloys often have an unusual and very desirable property to slightly expand before installing them, thereby filling out the finest details of the mold. Bronze parts are rigid and are commonly used for bearings, clamps, electrical connectors and springs.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers to purchase assortment of various bronze alloys of domestic and foreign brands. Products can be bought at a price formed on the basis of European and world standards. Implementation is possible in bulk and retail, for regular customers, a flexible system of discounts operates.

Prospects for the rational use of different types of bronze

If in former times bronze was used for the construction of guns, since it reduced friction when moving the projectile in the barrel of the gun, the bronze property of reducing friction when sliding the steel in bronze is now used in a wider field of applications. Bronze, for example, is used today for the manufacture of a variety of springs, bearings, bushings, automobile transmission bearings, sanitary fittings. Especially effective is bronze in the bearings of small servomotors in bearings of small electric motors. For high-precision bearings and springs, phosphorous bronze is particularly suitable.

Ordinary bronze is about 60 percent copper and 40 percent tin. Alpha-bronze consists of an alpha-solid solution of tin in copper. Alpha-bronze alloys (4 to 5 percent tin) are used for making coins, springs, turbines and blades.

An important advantage of bronze is that it does not create sparks when impact surfaces come into contact (unlike steel). That is, when a bronze tool strikes a hard metal surface, it will not generate sparks. This is useful for various fittings and accessories — hammers, wrenches and other tools that are used in explosive environments or in the presence of flammable vapors.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers various types of rolled and cast bronze from domestic and foreign production. The products are offered at affordable prices from the manufacturer. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer.
