Bronze Sand Castings
Draycast manufactures bronze castings using sand castings processes. We employee both green sand moulding and airset mould systems to produce bronze castings. Bronze covers a wide range of metals which have a wide range of mechanical and chemical properties. Traditional leaded gunmetals such as LG2 & LG4 have vastly different properties than aluminium bronzes such as AB2/C95800. We cast a wide variety of metals every day and can if necessary source specialist bronzes for specific applications
The alloys we use are detailed below and please follow the links to the various individual pages for a more complete description, chemical analysis and application notes for each alloy. We can source other alloys as required but these are what we use on a daily basis.
