Aluminium Bronze To Bs 1400: Ab1

The document summarizes the properties and applications of aluminium bronze (AB1) as defined by BS 1400. Key points: 1) AB1 aluminium bronze offers high strength, good wear and corrosion resistance, and maintains strength at elevated temperatures due to its chemical composition of 86% copper, 8.5-9.5% aluminium, and other alloying elements. 2) Typical applications include use in marine, oil, and chemical industries for parts like valves, pumps, propellers, and bearings. 3) AB1 aluminium bronze can be produced through continuous or centrifugal casting in round, hexagonal, octagonal, or rectangular shapes across a range of sizes.
