Bronze

A copper alloy chosen for how well two metal surfaces slide against each other without excessive friction or wear.

Example: machined Bronze

What is it?

A copper alloy chosen specifically for how well two metal surfaces slide against each other without excessive friction or wear.

Key behavior

Low metal-on-metal friction and strong corrosion resistance, especially in marine or wet environments.

Why choose it

Wherever two metal surfaces need to move against each other reliably — bearings, bushings, marine hardware.

Applications

Bushings, bearings, thrust washers, marine fittings, valve components.

Machining notes

Machines similarly to brass — clean cuts, good surface finish, relatively forgiving material.
