Why Choose Aluminum Bronze?
Aluminum bronze is a high-performance alloy family based on copper, with aluminum as the primary alloying element, often supplemented with iron, nickel, and manganese. It is the ideal material for heavy-duty, wear-resistant slide plates and guide plates due to its outstanding properties:
-
High Strength & Hardness: Possesses superior mechanical strength compared to tin bronzes and brasses, enabling it to withstand immense pressure and impact.
-
Exceptional Wear Resistance: Exhibits excellent performance against abrasion and friction, especially in high-load, low-speed applications, ensuring a long service life.
-
Superior Corrosion Resistance: Highly resistant to corrosion from the atmosphere, freshwater, seawater, and certain acids, making it perfect for marine and chemical environments.
-
High Load-Bearing Capacity: Can operate reliably under significant surface pressure without deformation.
-
Non-Sparking Properties: Does not produce sparks on impact, a critical safety feature for explosive or flammable environments.
Material Grade Comparison & Selection Guide
| Grade (GB Standard) | Common Int’l Equivalent (ASTM) | Key Features | Typical Applications |
| QAl10-5-5 | C95500 / C95510 | The Ultimate All-Round Performer. Offers the highest strength, hardness, and wear resistance among aluminum bronzes. Excellent high-temperature performance and corrosion resistance. | Heavy-duty machinery, metallurgical equipment (e.g., continuous caster mold plates), mining equipment, high-load wear parts, large gears, bushings, and guide plates. |
| QAl9-4-4-2 | C95400 / C95410 | The Classic Wear-Resistant Grade. A very popular and versatile alloy. The addition of nickel and iron provides excellent strength and wear resistance. Good machinability. | The most common choice for slide plates, guide plates, bushings, worm gears, bearings, and wear strips in all types of machinery. |
| QAl10-3 | (Similar to C95400) | High-Strength Workhorse. Offers high strength and good wear resistance. A widely used, reliable choice for demanding applications. | General engineering components, valves, pumps, wear-resistant bushings, slide plates, guide rails, and marine propellers. |
Our Recommendation:
-
For the most extreme conditions requiring maximum strength, wear resistance, and high-temperature capability, QAl10-5-5 (C95500) is the top choice.
-
For the majority of heavy-duty slide and guide plate applications, QAl9-4-4-2 (C95400) offers an excellent balance of performance and cost-effectiveness.

Metal Bushing (Lubricated Metal) -Self-Lubricating Bushing Materials
Bushings are specialized, self-lubricating metal components widely utilized across various industries due to their durability and low maintenance requirements. Self-lubricating metal bushings are engineered to function without additional lubrication in numerous applications, thereby minimizing maintenance needs. These bushings are available in various series and configurations, such as flanged bushings and split bearings, to meet specific application requirements.
