FAQs

What are the best bronze alloys for CNC machining?

C544 Phosphor Bronze is among the easiest to machine due to its excellent machinability rating. C932 (SAE 660) Bearing Bronze is also a top choice for turning bronze on a lathe, offering great anti-friction properties and consistent results for bushings and bearings.

What are the challenges of machining 954 Aluminum Bronze?

C954 is high-strength and wear-resistant but can be abrasive on tools. We use specialized carbide tooling and optimized cooling strategies to handle its toughness, ensuring we meet tight tolerances without compromising surface finish.

How does bronze compare to CNC brass machining?

While we offer both CNC brass and bronze services, the choice depends on the application. Brass is generally softer and faster to machine, while bronze alloys (like 932 or 954) offer superior corrosion resistance and load-bearing capacity for heavy-duty industrial parts.

What is the lead time for bronze CNC machined parts?

Prototype and low-volume bronze parts can typically be completed in 3–5 business days, depending on part complexity, quantity, material availability, and finishing requirements.

What size bronze parts can you CNC machine?

We can machine bronze parts up to 1,500 × 800 × 500 mm, with minimum feature sizes down to 5 mm. Tighter dimensions and smaller features can be reviewed based on the drawing and part geometry.
