BRONZE CASTING
Molten bronze meeting required customer chemical specifications is poured from a furnace into a ladle. The metal is then poured into a spinning mold. The size of the mold determines the outer diameter of the casting. The amount of molten metal poured into the die determines the inner diameter of the casting. The casting is then removed from the die, scheduled for production, machined, and quality tested.
This method of casting ensures a higher quality product, reducing the chance for defective material, and creates a fine grain structure that enhances mechanical properties. Our capabilities for this process can produce machined bronze components with a diameter of 100″ or larger. Centrifugal castings are produced in accordance with ASTM B271, ASTM B427, ASTM B22, or to an applicable customer specification.
Some examples of quality bronze components that are produced using this casting method are: Plain Bronze Bushing, Full-Split Bronze Bushing, Flanged Bronze Bushings, Self-Lubricated Bronze Bushings (Impregnated Graphite), Gear Blaks, Bronze Sleeve Bushings, Thrust Washers, Split Half Bronze Bushings (Saw-Split Bronze Bushings), Adjusting Nuts, Bronze Bearings, Impeller Wear Rings, Labyrinth Rings, Pump Shaft Sleeve, Impeller Shaft Sleeve, Casting Rings
Leaded Manganese Bronze C86400 (Bronze CDA 86400), also known as Leaded High Strength Yellow Brass, is a cast Copper alloy that is made of Copper and Zinc, with Aluminum, Lead, Tin, Iron, Manganese and Nickel & Cobalt. This cast bronze is primarily used in roller bearing applications.
High Strength Yellow Brass C86400 (CuZn40Fe2AlMnPb) is an alpha-beta brass with additions of 2% Fe and 1% additions of aluminium, lead and manganese. The iron, aluminum, and manganese, provides additional strength and corrosion resistance, while the lead is added to increase the machinability.
The alloy has good wear resistance and is used for roller bearing cages where the properties of high strength, ductility, good fatigue, excellent bearing, and excellent machinability make it a popular choice.
The Bronze CDA 86400, offered by Wieland Diversified, is a testament to their commitment to manufacturing products of the highest quality. This alpha-beta brass alloy exhibits remarkable properties that make it a top choice among industries that need robust and reliable bronze components.
Moreover, those of us at Wieland Diversified are known for our high transparency and integrity. We provide comprehensive product documentation, ensuring you are fully informed about the material’s properties and potential applications. This commitment to customer education allows you to make well-informed decisions, maximizing your investment’s value. In addition, Wieland Diversified offers competitive pricing for Bronze CDA 86400, ensuring that you receive plenty of value for your money. This commitment to affordability, coupled with their exceptional product quality, makes Wieland Diversified an excellent choice for your bronze alloy needs.
We specialize in brass and bronze sand castings used in a variety of industrial applications around the world. As a bronze casting company, we are experts in helping you choose the proper alloy for your casting. Types of bronze alloys we manufacture include: Aluminum Bronze, Manganese Bronze, Tin Bronze, and Silicon Bronze. The markets we serve are a testament to the quality bronze castings we provide. In addition to bronze sand castings, we are also a manufacturer of Aluminum Tubes & Rings rough machined, and used as bearings, labyrinth seals, and bearing housings. Our proprietary process – an improvement on centrifugal casting – in three hard to find Aluminum Alloys puts us above the rest. These aluminum alloys include AL850, AL852, and AL443. While we do not pour AL6061, the previously listed alloys can provide superior machinability and lubricity to AL6061. Our foundry can support both low volume and high volume production runs.
Our low volume production capabilities allow our customers to order castings and other products with a short run strategy. With our technology, we are able to take on short production runs with accuracy and efficiency offering a turnaround time of 3 to 9 weeks depending on factors like complexity and applied auxiliary services. With our automated molding line, Erie Bronze can offer high volume production runs with consistency and accuracy all delivered in a timely manner. Lead times on production run items typically range from 1 to 6 weeks, and our high volume bronze sand castings can range from 3 to 150 pounds.
