Applications:

Senor Aluminium Bronze A1 is a moderate-strength aluminium bronze alloy used for weld overlay and metalizing in automotive and other manufacturing applications and for the build-up and repair of bearing and corrosion-resistant surfaces. It is not recommended for joining. Thus it is used to overlays on shafts, propellers, housings, couplings, bushings, valve seats, pumps, and other surfaces needing a bronze wearing surface and in refineries, steel and pulp mills.
