Melting and Casting
Steel and alloying metals are loaded into an electric arc furnace. Once in the furnace, the metal is heated to a specific temperature above its melting point, usually in excess of 2800°F.
How does Aluminium Bronze AB2 compare to other bronze alloys?
Aluminium Bronze AB2's unique properties set it apart from other bronze alloys. One of the key differentiators is its exceptional strength, making it a preferred choice for applications that demand high mechanical performance. Compared to traditional copper-based bronzes, Aluminium Bronze AB2 offers significantly improved tensile strength, making it well-suited for heavy-duty applications such as marine and aerospace industries. Additionally, Aluminium Bronze AB2 demonstrates excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in harsh environments exposed to seawater or chemical substances. This corrosion resistance and high strength make Aluminium Bronze AB2 a reliable choice for components subjected to extreme conditions.

What are the main properties and characteristics of Aluminium Bronze AB2 bars, rods, and wires?
Aluminium Bronze AB2 bars possess distinctive properties and characteristics that make them highly valuable in numerous applications. These bars exhibit excellent strength, combining the strength of bronze with the added benefits of aluminium. That enables them to withstand heavy loads and mechanical stresses, making them suitable for structural components and high-stress applications. Aluminium Bronze AB2 bars demonstrate exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly in marine and corrosive environments. That makes them ideal for marine hardware, pump components, and offshore structures where resistance to saltwater and harsh chemicals is crucial.
Aluminium Bronze AB2 rods offer a range of key properties and characteristics contributing to their widespread use in various industries. One prominent feature of AB2 rods is their high tensile strength, providing exceptional structural integrity and the ability to withstand heavy loads and mechanical stress. That makes them well-suited for applications such as valve stems, pump shafts, and fasteners, where strength and durability are crucial. Aluminium Bronze AB2 rods exhibit excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in marine environments or when exposed to corrosive substances.
One primary feature of AB2 wires is their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, which combines high tensile strength and relatively low weight. That makes them suitable for applications requiring lightweight yet robust materials, such as aerospace and automotive industries. Aluminium Bronze AB2 wires exhibit exceptional corrosion resistance, making them highly resistant to degradation when exposed to harsh environments or corrosive substances.
