THE development of aluminium-bronze alloys has basically been due to a combination of useful properties parti-cuarly appealing to the designers in various engineering fields, the most important application being in the marine and hydraulic field. Important properties of aluminium-bronzes include the following:
(1) Useful combination of mechanical properties with
ability to retain these properties at moderately
elevated temperature
(2) Excellent resistance to corrosion and cavitation
erosion
(3) High impact value, and
(4)High wear resistance
High wear resistance
