When aluminium bronze is the solution.
Tweet
Each metal has its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to component design and performance, in this article the Cast Metals Federation gives an insight into which criteria would encourage a component designer to select aluminium bronze castings.
There are a large number of castable copper-based alloys covering high conductivity coppers, bronzes, brasses, gunmetals and aluminium bronzes, each of which have been developed to exploit copper’s fundamental and unique physical properties and benefits.
Those benefits include:
high corrosion resistance
low friction surfaces
high thermal and electrical conductivity
non-sparking
metallurgical stability over wide temperature ranges.
