1. Corrosion resistance requirements:
General corrosive environment: If used in ordinary corrosive environments such as atmosphere and fresh water, most aluminum bronzes can meet the requirements.
Strongly corrosive environment: If it is in a highly corrosive medium such as seawater, strong acid, strong alkali, etc., extremely high corrosion resistance is required. At this time, nickel-aluminum bronze or aluminum bronze with a higher nickel content can be selected.
2. Mechanical performance requirements:
High strength requirements: If used to manufacture parts such as gears and shafts that bear high loads, high-strength aluminum bronze needs to be selected.
High wear resistance requirements: For parts with frequent friction, such as bearings and bushings, the wear resistance of the material should be considered. Aluminum bronze itself has good wear resistance. Through reasonable processing and heat treatment, the wear resistance can be further improved, which is suitable for such applications.
Use in high temperature environment: If working in high temperature environment, the high temperature performance of the material needs to be considered. Some aluminum bronzes can still maintain good strength and stability at high temperatures .
3. Reference technical specifications and standards:
National standards and industry standards: According to the specific application field, refer to the corresponding national standards or industry standards to understand the performance indicators and applicable scope of different grades of aluminum bronze to ensure that the selected materials meet the standard requirements.
4. Consider processing and cost factors:
Processing performance: Understand the processing difficulty and processing technology requirements of aluminum bronze, such as whether it is easy to forge, roll, cut, weld, etc. For parts that require complex processing, choose materials with good processing performance to reduce processing costs and improve production efficiency. Some aluminum bronzes can be improved in processing performance through heat treatment, which needs to be evaluated according to specific circumstances.
Cost-effectiveness: Under the premise of meeting the use requirements, comprehensively consider factors such as material price, processing cost, service life, etc., and choose the most cost-effective solution. The prices of continuous casting aluminum bronze of different grades and specifications vary. At the same time, the later maintenance and replacement costs must also be considered .
