Bronze Continuous Castings, in the form of bar, rod and hollow shapes, are used extensively for machining into bushings, bearings and a variety of mechanical components used in many industries.

The principal requirements of a bronze bearing alloy are compressive strength, fatigue resistance, temperature endurance, conformity, seizure resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. It is recognized that superior performance will normally be obtained from Continuous Cast bronze stock. The mechanical properties of bronze Continuous Castings, should be noted when selecting alloys for particular purposes, since there will be differences in values from those of similar alloys when sand or static castings is the method of production. See ALLOYS PRODUCED for more detailed specifications.

Some of the benefits of Continuous Cast Bronze Barstock are:

  • Virtually no dirt or porosity as metal is skimmed from the top prior to pouring
  • Uniform grain structure, allows material to be easily machined
  • Cast barstock to tight tolerances with no rough machining needed - Bar comes out with smooth finish
  • Large variety of shapes can be cast at a relatively inexpensive cost compared to other methods
  • Can achieve lengths up to 150", on smaller diamete
