Copper alloy castings involve using various alloys of Copper as the primary material for the casting process. Copper alloys are created by combining Copper with other elements, such as Zinc, Tin, Aluminium, Nickel, and others. These alloys are designed to exhibit specific properties, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
The process of copper alloy casting is similar to other metal casting methods, with the main difference being the use of copper-based alloys as the molten metal.
Copper alloy castings are widely used in various industries due to their excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and desirable mechanical properties. Some common types of copper alloy castings and their applications include :
Bronze Castings: As mentioned earlier, bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, and it finds applications in sculptures, statues, bearings, marine hardware, and industrial components.
Brass Castings: Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, is used for various plumbing fittings, and electrical connectors.
Copper-Nickel Castings: Copper-nickel alloys are commonly used in marine applications, such as ship hulls, heat exchangers, and condenser tubes due to their resistance to corrosion in seawater..
Aluminium Bronze Castings: Aluminium Bronze, an alloy of Copper, Aluminium, and sometimes other elements, is known for its high strength, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. It is used in applications like gears, bearings, and heavy machinery parts.
Copper Castings: Grades Such as C80100 and C81100 are cast by a permanent mould process and contain no impurities and have almost pure copper.
Copper alloy castings are valued for their versatility and a combination of desirable properties, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
