When contract manufacturing customers require aluminum bronze castings meeting the ASTM B148-18 specification, they need a highly corrosion resistant alloy that lends the ability to withstand harsh environments. This alloy is resistant to tarnishing from sea water, which makes it an ideal solution for various marine applications including valves and general mechanical parts as well as a popular solution for sleeve bearings. If your current job’s drawings call for the ASTM B148 specification, we invite you to contact our team to discuss your needs.

At our facility, located in Erie, Pennsylvania, we maintain four  electric furnaces, each of which offer a maximum melting capacity of up to 2,000 pounds. This capacity makes us an excellent foundry choice for jobs small and large. In addition to our elite sand casting work, we offer a range of value added services that include heat treatment, machining, logistics, and more. With this suite of capabilities, you can choose Erie Bronze for everything ranging from ASTM B148-18 castings, to packaging, to end point delivery.

Erie Bronze utilizes a SPECTROLAB Metal Analyzer to confirm that all alloys we pour are produced to your exact specifications. By smelting our alloys in-house, we avoid costly delays that can arise when sourcing castings that do not meet chemical requirements. Smelting our own alloys also allows us to utilize various different raw materials and remain competitive in today’s market.

In addition to our devotion to quality, we maintain ITAR registration and compliance, which ensures that castings for defense-related contracts remain compliant with this important regulation. No matter the job, we strive to offer the most high-quality casting work at the most competitive prices possible, and this includes aluminum bronze castings manufactured to the ASTM B148-18 specification and more.
