Bronze in CNC Machining
Tin bronze combines strength, corrosion resistance, wear performance, and thermal conductivity. RapidDirect CNC machines bronze for bearings, bushings, marine hardware, electrical components, and industrial parts.
- Wear resistance: Bronze supports bearings, bushings, and sliding components exposed to repeated movement.
- Corrosion resistance: Bronze performs well in marine and other demanding environments.
- Thermal and electrical conductivity: Bronze is used for heat exchange components and electrical contacts.
- Machinability: CNC machining produces custom bronze parts with precise features.
Selection note: Choose bronze for durable components that need wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and reliable performance in demanding environments. CNC machining supports custom features for prototypes and production parts.
