What is Bronze Machining?

Bronze machining is the process of cutting and shaping bronze using specialized tools. It involves removing material from a bronze workpiece to create the desired form. CNC machines automate this process, following digital designs to produce accurate parts.

Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, sometimes with other metals added. Its properties make it ideal for many applications. Bronze machining can create complex shapes, tight tolerances, and smooth finishes. This method is essential for producing durable, corrosion-resistant components.

CNC Machining Bronze Services FAQs

No, bronze is highly regarded for being easy to machine, especially leaded bronze and leaded tin bronze. However, some types of bronze, like nickel aluminum bronze, are tougher due to their material properties. Proper tooling prevents smearing on the surface of the bronze and ensures efficient removal of material from the bronze workpiece. In the world of bronze machining, selecting the right tools makes it manageable.

932 bronze (also known as SAE 660 or bearing bronze) is easy to machine and widely available for CNC machining. It balances the strength and corrosion resistance of bronze, making it ideal for bearings and bushings. Leaded bronze and bismuth bronze are also excellent choices for CNC parts due to their lubricating properties. Overall, bronze alloys generally offer varied machinability based on their composition.

For CNC bronze machining, cutting speeds vary with grades of bronze and tooling. Leaded tin bronze allows faster speeds, around 200 to 300 surface feet per minute (SFM). Tin bronze and copper-nickel bronze require slower speeds to preserve the surface of the bronze. Ensuring optimal speeds is crucial to efficiently remove material from the bronze workpiece.

When the machining process involves 932 bronze, use sharp carbide tools to minimize the surface of the bronze smearing. For CNC turning, maintain moderate feeds and speeds to enhance precision. Avoid aggressive cuts as bronze may distort; instead, apply steady passes. Coolants aren’t necessary but help with precise machining by reducing heat.

No, coolants aren’t mandatory as bronze is widely machined dry, but they assist with precise machining. For electrical discharge machining of CNC parts, coolants improve accuracy by reducing heat. The resistance of bronze makes it suitable for dry cuts, but coolants prevent built-up edges. Choosing to use bronze dry or wet depends on the applications of bronze.
