Bronze Heat Exchanger Parts and Components

A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat between one or more fluids. The fluids may be separated by a solid wall to prevent mixing, or they may be in direct contact. Bronze heat exchanger parts are the preferred choice across demanding industries because copper alloys resist corrosion, biofouling, and thermal fatigue far better than carbon steel alternatives. Heat exchangers are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power stations, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural gas processing, and sewage treatment.

Shell and tube heat exchanger components must be tailored to the specific process fluid, operating temperature, pressure, viscosity, and chemical composition involved. Atlas Bronze stocks and custom-supplies bronze alloy heat exchanger parts that meet ASME and ASTM standards, giving engineers reliable material options for both new builds and heat exchanger repair and replacement projects.

Bronze Alloys for Heat Exchanger Parts

The alloy you specify for heat exchanger components directly affects service life, maintenance intervals, and total cost of ownership. Atlas Bronze supplies the following copper alloys most commonly used in shell and tube heat exchanger fabrication and repair:

• C46400 Naval Brass - Outstanding resistance to dezincification and seawater corrosion. A standard choice for tube sheets and baffles in marine and coastal installations.
• C61400 Aluminum Bronze - High strength with excellent resistance to erosion-corrosion, suitable for high-velocity fluid service in tube sheets and shell components.
• C63000 Nickel Aluminum Bronze - Combines high mechanical strength with superior corrosion resistance, widely specified for heat exchanger end bonnets and flanges.
• C28000 Muntz Metal - A cost-effective option for tube sheets and heat exchanger plates in lower-pressure, less aggressive environments.

All alloys are available in bar, plate, tube, and custom-machined forms to match your heat exchanger part drawings and specifications. Call 1-800-478-0887 or contact our bronze alloy experts to discuss material selection for your application.
