Applications:
Senor Aluminium Bronze A-3 contains higher iron content which gives greater strength maintaining good ductility. It is used mainly for welding aluminium bronze castings of similar composition. It also finds considerable use for the build-up and repair of bearing surfaces of copper alloy parts. Is used in shipbuilding, machinery and the chemical industry. Best for the high hard facing requirements for hardness, resistance to wear, abrasion and erosion.
