Bronze

Kormax offers a broad range of alloys, profiles and sizes in bronze metals

Bronze alloys are metals that are 80-95 percent copper with the remainder made up of one or more other metals such as tin, silicon, nickel, aluminium, iron, zinc, or manganese. When strength and corrosion resistance are required, bronze is a preferred material. Kormax's casting capabilities include continuous casting and centrifugal casting. Continuous casting can produce diameters ranging from 1″/25mm to 10″/254mm, as well as square and rectangular profiles. Centrifugal casting can achieve diameters ranging from 8″/203mm to 18″/3000mm for spun bronze castings. Kormax can also obtain Extruded Bronze in addition to these methods. Extrusion produces a more consistent grain structure as well as higher tensile strength consistency than other casting methods. Extruded Bronze is typically used for highly critical components such as as aircraft undercarriage components. Bronze is a versatile and widely used material due to the wide range of bronze alloys and compositions. Because bronze is both strong and versatile, it is commonly used for sacrificial bushings. Bronze bushings and wear pads have a long service life and are resistant to shock, impact, wear, and corrosion. To reduce friction and wear, they require an external lubricant, such as grease or oil, both during installation and operation. Kormax, with over 70 years of Foundry experience, is a reliable partner for large Bronze Alloy castings. Alloy selection, component design, manufacturing, and semi-finished material supply are among our areas of expertise. Kormax is well equipped for rapid and large-scale production due to its large inventory.<
