Bronze in Aviation and Aerospace
Atlas Bronze offers a range of copper alloys for aerospace applications. Aerospace alloys are used for a wide variety of applications, such as:
- Landing gear bushings and bearings
- Hydraulic actuators
- Flight controls
- Static joints
- Helicopter controls
- Flight instruments
- Flap and slap carriages
- Wheel bearings
- Missile vane controls
- Warhead delivery systems
- Ground equipment
- Hatch and door mechanisms
- Steering joints
Thanks to their high mechanical properties (low friction coefficient, resistance to corrosion, stability at extreme temperatures), our copper based alloys have become a reference in the aerospace applications. We provide all these companies, and their repair services all over the world, with a wide range of products (rings, discs, etc …) according to customer’s drawings mainly designed for bushings and bearings for landing gear and breaking systems for aircraft and helicopters.
