Aluminum Bronze was developed to revolutionize, improve, and evolve on the standard bronze alloy, specifically, in the naval industry. In marine components, such as boat hulls, propellers, and mechanical pieces, marine engineers fought against “bronze disease” – a chemical reaction which turns standard bronze powder green until it dissolves. You might have seen a similar reaction on only artifacts in museums or old bronze coins! As you might imagine, issues like this could become catastrophic for a sailor at sea if their major component of the boat fails due to bronze disease. Aluminum Bronze was the cure for this! Copper and tin are the main components of traditional bronze.

 

In AlBronze, tin is completely removed, and the composition is composed of:

11% Aluminum for superior corrosion resistance, machinability, luster
3.5% Iron for hardness and toughness
1 trace elements – similar to what you may find in super steels
84.5% Copper for the remainder of the alloy composition
