Bronze in 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.
