What is Aluminium Bronze Investment Casting?

Aluminium Bronze is a copper-based alloy where aluminium is the primary alloying element. Unlike traditional bronzes, this alloy offers a unique combination of high tensile strength (comparable to medium-carbon steel) and unparalleled corrosion resistance. By using the investment casting process, ICAST ALLOYS LLP can produce intricate, near-net-shape components that require minimal post-machining.

01.Common Grades

C95200 / AB1 (BS 1400)

C95400

C95500 / AB2 (BS 1400)

C95800 / DIN CuAl10Ni5Fe4

02. Key Usage & Applications

Due to its biostatic properties (prevents marine growth) and non-sparking nature, our Aluminium Bronze castings are essential for:

Marine & Offshore: Propellers, pump impellers, hull fittings, and underwater fasteners.

Oil & Gas: Non-sparking safety tools, valve bodies, and components for hazardous zones.

Industrial Pumps & Valves: Corrosion-resistant housings and wear rings for chemical processing.

Defense & Aerospace: High-strength structural brackets and landing gear components.

Heavy Machinery: Bushings, bearings, and worm gears requiring high load-bearing capacity.

03.Pros

Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Naturally forms a protective aluminium oxide film that self-heals if damaged, especially in chloride-rich and acidic environments.

High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Offers the mechanical properties of steel while maintaining the non-ferrous benefits of copper alloys.

Biostatic Properties: Naturally inhibits the growth of algae, barnacles, and other marine organisms.

Non-Sparking & Non-Magnetic: Ideal for use in explosive atmospheres (mines, oil rigs) and sensitive instrumentation.

Superior Surface Finish: The investment casting process provides a smooth finish (average 125 micro-inch) and high dimensional precision.

04.Cons

Higher Initial Material Cost: Copper-based alloys are generally more expensive than carbon steel or standard aluminium.

Complexity in Casting: Requires strict temperature control and expert handling to avoid oxide inclusions during the pour.

Size Limitations: While ideal for intricate parts, very large/bulky components may be better suited for sand casting
