Featuring Everdur Silicon Bronze in a variety of forms for use in both Industrial and Creative applications
With its pleasant color (and ability to accept a range of patinas) combined with good fluidity, low drossing, and a reasonable solidification range, Everdur Silicon Bronze is widely used in both industrial and creative applications. Everdur’s balance of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance has led to its use in valve and pump parts, impellers, bells and a variety of other engineering applications. More recently, Everdur’s excellent casting charecteristics have resulted in it being the preferred Bronze for sculpture casting in its wide acceptance for the jewelry caster as well.

Featuring Silicon Bronze Everdur, Silicon Brass, Special H Silicon Brass, Art Casters Brass, White Bronze, and many other different Brass alloys meeting CDA specifications
Brass is an alloy containing Zinc as the principal alloying element with or without other designated alloys such as Tin, Aluminum, Nickel, and Lead . By Comparison Bronze is principally an alloy of Copper and Tin. Bronze does not necessarily contain Tin, and a variety of alloys of Copper, including alloys with Iron, Phosphorus, Lead, Aluminum, Manganese, and Silicon are commonly termed Bronze. It is hard and tough, and it was so significant in antiquity that the Bronze Age was named after the metal.
Applications:
Brass is used for decoration for its bright gold-like appearance; for applications where low friction is required such as locks, gears, bearings, doorknobs, ammunition casing and valves. It is also used for plumbing and electrical applications; and extensively in brass musical instruments such as horns and bells for its acoustic properties.
Bronze is the most popular metal for cast metal sculptures. Bronze alloys have the unusual and desirable property of expanding slightly just before they set, thus filling the finest details of the mold. Then as the bronze cools, it shrinks a little making it easier to separate from the mold.
Forms:
