Bronze powder

As a representative of metal powders, bronze powder is used in various areas of application. On the one hand, fine bronze powder is used to pigment casting resins, paints and varnishes, providing a visually striking colour effect. On the other hand, bronze powders are also used to produce sintered filters or bearings, for example. These are highly resistant to corrosion due to the choice of material.

Bronze is always an alloy with at least 60% copper and the remaining tin content. Typical grain sizes are < 20µm, < 45µm, < 63µm, < 75µm and < 150µm.

Bronze, an alloy that has been valued for its strength and beauty since ancient times, is finding new applications in modern technologies and industries in its powdered form. Our bronze powder combines the classic properties of bronze - such as wear resistance and corrosion resistance - with the benefits of modern manufacturing techniques, making it an exceptionally versatile material. This high-quality powder is suitable for a wide range of applications, from the production of precise industrial components to artistic applications and use in additive manufacturing.

Outstanding material properties

The wear resistance of bronze powder makes it an ideal material for the manufacture of components that operate under high pressure and friction. Its durability ensures an extended service life for machine parts, plain bearings and other components, which reduces maintenance costs and downtime in industrial applications. In addition, bronze powder offers good corrosion resistance, making it ideal for use in humid or chemically active environments. This property is particularly valuable in industries such as marine, where materials are exposed to extreme environmental conditions.

Applications across industry boundaries

The versatility of bronze powder allows it to be used in a wide range of fields. In art and restoration, the powder enables the creation and preservation of objects with historical significance, with the fine particles providing detailed and authentic surface finishes. In modern industry, bronze powder is used for the production of precision components, particularly in the automotive and aerospace industries, as well as in additive manufacturing, where it enables the production of complex parts with specific mechanical properties. It also serves as the basis for high-performance coatings that offer protection against wear and corrosion.

Sustainability and innovation

The use of bronze powder also reflects a commitment to sustainability and efficiency. The ability to process materials precisely and with minimal waste, especially in additive manufacturing, helps to reduce the environmental footprint. At the same time, the innovative use of bronze powder in new applications opens up avenues for the development of products and technologies that are both efficient and environmentally friendly.

Summary

Bronze powder represents a bridge between the rich history of bronze as a material and the endless possibilities of modern technologies and applications. With its outstanding properties - from wear and corrosion resistance to aesthetic quality - bronze powder offers a wide range of applications across industrial and cultural boundaries. Its use in art, industry and technology emphasises the enduring importance and versatility of bronze in a constantly evolving world.
