Copper-Tin Alloy
Aluminium, Leaded & Phosphor Bronze
Bronze predominantly consists of copper, although the alloy typically includes 12% tin. However, this figure may be higher in certain specialist bronzes (up to 20%).
The alloy has existed for over 5,000 years and was initially used to make basic hand tools, weapons and jewellery.
Different Bronzes
We stock aluminium, leaded and phosphor bronzes. Each bronze possesses different performance characteristics. For example, aluminium bronze offers high strength and corrosion resistance. Leaded bronze promotes excellent wear resistance and ease of machining, and phosphor bronze displays high fatigue and wear resistance.
Versatility
Bronze is a highly versatile engineering material used in many commercial engineering applications. The variety of bronze alloys available makes bronze a useful engineering option in a broad range of market sectors.

Steeped in History
Bronze has been around since 3500 BC, and the popularity of the material has continued ever since.
Bronze has existed since Ancient Sumerian times and has changed the world. It was a pivotal moment in history, representing the birth of metalworking, with tools and weapons being made for the first time.
Civilisation may have changed over the centuries, but the need for bronze shows no sign of letting up.
Stock Portfolio
Our bronze stock range includes aluminium, leaded and phosphor bronze alloys. We stock bronze in closer incremental sizes in both imperial and metric sizes.
We primarily stock bronze bars that are popular in commercial applications, including oil, gas & petrochemical.
We combine our stock, in-house processing services, and UKAS-accredited metallurgical support services to offer a single supply source for your engineering raw materials.
