Aluminium Bronze Screw

Aluminium bronze screws are categorised under the category of special fasteners that possess high corrosion resistance and strength. Such screws are well suitable for use in marine conditions and other conditions that are unfavourable such as chemical and oxidation conditions, and services in saltwater. Aluminium bronze also possesses special wear resistance features.

Features of Aluminium Bronze screw

These aluminium bronze screws are characterised by certain properties and benefits. Here are some key features:

• Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium bronze screw has high corrosion resistance and these screws are therefore suitable for use in marine environment.
• High Strength: Aluminium bronze screws are strong mechanically and withstand wear and tear giving them a longer life.
• Good Conductivity: It has good thermal and electrical conductivity which may be desirable in some applications.
• Low Magnetic Properties: These screws are non-magnetic and are therefore appropriate to be used in areas where magnetism can be a problem.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Aluminium bronze has a shiny gold like finish, which is an advantage in applications where the material is exposed to the environment.
• Ease of Machining: Aluminium bronze screws are tough though relatively easy to machine and fabricate hence can be used in precise operations.
• Resistance to Erosion:  Aluminium bronze screws are non-eroding, and this is good for service where there is high velocity of the fluid.

Aluminium bronze screws have characteristics that make them suitable for use in various industries due to the following characteristics.

Uses of Aluminium Bronze Screw

Aluminium bronze screws are used in the following applications because of their features. Here are some common uses:

• Marine Applications: Aluminium bronze screws should be used in ship building, offshore structure and marine applications.
• Automotive Industry: These screws are used in parts that are usually seen in other parts like engine, transmission, and suspensions parts, where they offer reliable fastening in difficult circumstances.
• Aerospace: Aluminium bronze screws are used in aircraft parts employed in structural members, engine fasteners and avionic devices. 
• Industrial Machinery: Aluminium bronze screws are used in pumps, valves and other mechanical components that are used in abrasive conditions.
• Construction: Aluminium bronze screws are applied in architectural materials like door handles and structural parts particularly in regions with saltwater exposure.
• Electronics: Aluminium bronze screws can be used for connectors and fasteners in electronic devices because of conductivity and non-magnetic nature.

These applications demonstrate the flexibility of aluminium bronze screws in different fields and their performance.
