Aluminium casting

Aluminium casting together with bronze produces alloys which offer very high strength coupled with excellent corrosion resistance properties. These alloys have a range of uses and classification such as AB1 and AB2. Typical uses for AB1 are selector forks and levers. AB2 has outstanding resistance to sea water directly due to the thin film of aluminium oxide on the external surface making aluminium casting incorporating bronze particularly suitable for the offshore and marine industry.
Typical uses for these castings are pump impellers, marine propellers, valves and water fittings.

Aluminium casting properties

Both AB1 and AB2 castings can be used in direct contact with acids, particularly in such applications as metal treatment and are also utilised for handling boiler feed waters but, in certain adverse conditions, AB1 may suffer from de-aluminification.

Another feature of aluminium casting with bronze is that the finished casts offer very high resistance to sparking and are common in industries such as chemical plants, refineries and combustible gases manufacturing.
High strength coupled with excellent abrasion resistance make aluminium bronze casting one of the most popular cast methods available today with demand on the increase.
