Industries we serve

Our copper alloy industrial components are designed for performance in harsh and high-demand environments. We provide custom solutions to the following sectors: 

Cement Plants – Components exposed to high loads and abrasive materials.

Naval and Maritime – Propulsion systems, rudders, keels, and wear-resistant bushings.

Mining – Heavy-duty bushings and parts for drilling, crushing, and pumping equipment.

Sugar Industry – Impellers, pump casings, and wear plates resistant to corrosion and abrasion.

Energy and Hydropower – Runners for turbines, blades, and mechanical seals.

Metallurgy – High-temperature components such as furnace blades and crucible supports.

Custom Applications – We develop parts for a wide range of other industrial machinery.

Types of industrial components we manufacture in copper alloy:

We cast, machine, and finish a wide variety of custom and standard industrial components in bronze and copper alloys, including: 

Centrifugal bushings for propulsion systems and heavy machinery

Keels for sailboats

Impellers for centrifugal pumps

Runners for hydroelectric turbines and water flow control

Pump casings for high-pressure, corrosive, or abrasive fluid handling

Blades for induction furnaces and smelting operations

Each piece is manufactured to specification and undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure optimal performance in its intended application. 

Copper Alloys & Materials We Use

We specialize in high-quality copper-based alloys known for their mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and wear performance. Our most requested materials for industrial components include: 

Aluminum Bronze – CuNial
Ideal for marine and high-wear applications, excellent resistance to seawater and cavitation.

Manganese Bronze
High-strength material with excellent toughness, suited for heavy load-bearing parts and machinery.

SAE62, SAE64, SAE66
Widely used in industrial applications for their durability, machinability, and resistance to wear and corrosion. These bronze alloys are suitable for bushings, bearings, and general-purpose industrial components.

Other custom alloys can be developed depending on your requirements.

FAQs

1.What types of industrial components can be manufactured using copper alloys?

We produce a wide range of components including bushings, impellers, pump casings, runners, blades, and keels, all tailored to specific industrial needs. Copper alloys are ideal for applications requiring corrosion resistance, strength, and thermal conductivity. 

2.How do I choose between aluminum bronze, manganese bronze, or SAE alloys?

Each alloy offers distinct benefits: 

  • Aluminum bronze (CuNial) resists corrosion and is ideal for marine environments. 
  • Manganese bronze is stronger and suited for high-load mechanical parts. 
  • SAE 62, SAE 64, SAE 66 are standard alloys known for wear resistance and machinability. 

We’ll guide you to the right material based on your operating conditions. 

3.Can you manufacture components based on my technical drawings or specifications?

Yes. We work directly with client-provided CAD files, blueprints, or sample parts, and can assist with engineering support if your design needs refinement. 

4.Do you offer custom casting and machining services?

Absolutely. We handle both custom and standard parts, from prototyping to high-volume production, using centrifugal casting, sand casting, and precision machining technologies. 

5.Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we export globally. All shipments include proper documentation, packing, and compliance certifications to ensure smooth delivery and customs clearance.
