Aluminum Bronze

Used to manufacture landing gear bushings & bearings, valve guides, stems, and other aircraft parts, Finkelstein Metals’ AS9100D certified aluminum bronze alloys, are the choice of dozens of aerospace manufacturing companies across the globe. As one of the very few metal producers certified for aviation, our strong, durable aluminum bronze products are incorporated in a wide range of aviation applications designed to carry extremely heavy loads, where uncompromised safety is a top priority.

Non-sparking properties make aluminum bronze exceptionally suitable for the gas & oil industry, where safety is crucial. Recognized for their exemplary corrosion resistance, durability and reliability, our alloys are the choice of some of the biggest names in this industry.

Non-sparking properties make aluminum bronze exceptionally suitable for the mining industry, where safety is crucial. The non-sparking property of aluminum bronze is primarily a result of its composition, with the addition of aluminum minimizing the risk of sparks or of sparks igniting an explosion or fire. Using tools and equipment made from aluminum bronze in this environment, reduces the risk of accidental fires and explosions.

In various manufacturing processes, aluminum bronze is used for molds, dies, and other tooling that requires high wear resistance and durability. It’s resistance to many chemicals and its non-sparking properties make it suitable for applications such as valve seats, pump components, and fittings in chemical processing plants. In the power generation category, aluminum bronze is used in hydroelectric plants for components like turbine blades and wear rings, where both strength and corrosion resistance are crucial.

Finkelstein Metals’ aluminum bronze alloys can be found in hydraulic bushings for earth moving equipment, corrosion resistant articles, heat exchanger flanges and headers, tanks, valve balls, structural members, pump shafts, valve guides, plunger tips, welded piping systems, balls, gears, cams, pump parts, shafting, condenser tube for power stations and desalting units, valve seats and more.

With excellent corrosion resistance in salt water, and low magnetic properties, Finkelstein Metals’ aluminum bronze alloys withstand extended periods of exposure to fresh water, seawater, brackish water and more, crucial characteristic for protective casing and fixings and navy applications including fasteners, nuts & bolts and nuts, on-deck hardware, weapons handling, sonar and radar equipment, and various marine valve components.
