BRONZE is an alloy of copper with the addition of other metals (tin, lead, zinc, aluminium and others).
It is available in round bars (Ø 13 – Ø 454), tubes (Ø 26/14 – Ø 504/426), square and flat bars in continuous casting (GC) .
Centrifuged (GZ) up to Ø 1500, raw and finished sizes in the following alloys.

| G-Cu Al10 Fe5 Ni5 CC333G | 65÷75 | 30÷40 | 4÷10 | 170÷220 | This alloy is suitable for pieces that are strongly cold/heat stressed and has an excellent corrosion strength, even for marine corrosion. It has high attrition and cavitation strength. Examples of application: turbine joints, nozzles and plugs for Pelton gears, strongly stressed bearings, components for engine valves. |
