C-65100 : SILICON BRONZE INGOTS

Description :

Silicon Bronzes are copper based alloys with a mixture of other metals like Aluminium, Nickel, Zinc, Lead, Iron and Manganese. It is one of the easiest metals to form/pour. Silicon helps deoxygenate the material which helps to reduce brittleness and increases the strength. Silicon has self-lubricating properties which makes it an ideal choice for connections or fixtures. Silicon Bronzes are less brittle than other bronze alloys. It is also considered as one of the best looking copper alloys due to its attractive reddish gold colour.

C65100 is known as Low Silicon Bronze which is one of the most weldable copper alloys. C65100 is noted for its strength, corrosion resistance, electrical properties and brazeability.

AEPL produces CuSiMn1, C64200, C65500, C87300, C95600, Silicon Bronze Ingots alloy in the form of Certified Ingots weighing from 8 to 10 Kgs each.

QUALITY :

AEPL has implemented a quality system for Copper Based Alloys where all processes are monitored from start to finish i.e. from procurement of raw material, their combination, manufacturing processes, measurement and chemical analysis. We maintain our own laboratory with calibrated equipments to ensure delivery of certified ingots as per International Standards and satisfy clients' requirements. The equipment includes Optical Emission Spectrometer which uses arc and spark excitation technology. Samples of test reports are available upon request.

VALUE ADDED SERVICES :

AEPL manufactures and supplies Copper Alloys products to Domestic as well as International Markets. Located at a single site, our smaller foundries are equipped to use in-house certified ingots and create complex shapes of Copper alloy castings and turn them into finished components using Drilling, Grinding and CNC turning centres.
