When you need reliable, high-quality bronze for precision machining applications, our C544 phosphor bronze rod delivers exceptional performance. This premium alloy combines the best properties of bronze with superior machinability, making it the ideal choice for creating everything from sleeve bearings to gears and pinions.
The C544 alloy stands out as a free-cutting phosphor bronze that machines with remarkable ease, offering approximately 90% of the machinability of free-cutting brass. This makes it perfect for screw machine production and other precision manufacturing processes where clean cuts and tight tolerances are essential.
This bronze alloy boasts excellent cold-working properties and superior mechanical strength. With a typical composition that provides optimal balance between workability and durability, it can be readily heat formed, forged, polished, and silver soldered. While not recommended for electric welding, its versatility makes it suitable for countless industrial and creative applications.
The reddish-golden hue of this bronze develops a beautiful golden finish when polished, adding aesthetic appeal to functional parts. Whether you're creating thrust bearings, bushings, or intricate mechanical components, this material delivers consistent performance. The 72-inch length gives you plenty of working material for multiple projects, reducing waste and maximizing your investment.
Made to ASTM-B139 specifications, this bronze rod meets rigorous industry standards for composition and performance. Each piece maintains consistent properties throughout, ensuring predictable results in your machining operations. From prototyping to production runs, count on this material to deliver the reliability your projects demand.
