FAQs

What are the primary uses of a 3/8" bronze bar in various industries?

A 3/8" bronze bar is used in applications where strength, corrosion resistance and machinability are required. It is used in marine environments for boat fittings, deck hardware and underwater components as it is durable in saltwater.

You can also find it in architectural and plumbing fixtures and for manufacturing mechanical components like valves, bushings and small precision parts. We stock bronze bar in various sizes, so if you need a different diameter, we can help you find the right one for your needs.

What specifications does your bronze bar material meet?

Our bronze bars meet the requirements of ASTM B16. This specification covers chemical composition, mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield strength and hardness) and heat treatment standards. If you need specific compliance details, please contact us for certification documents and more information. Visit our Technical Data – Bronze page for more details.

How is the machinability of Alloy 385 bronze bar?

Alloy 385 (architectural bronze) has excellent machinability due to its high lead content. It’s good for precision machining, cuts smooth, minimal tool wear and good surface finish. It’s a preferred choice for applications that require intricate details and tight tolerances.
