Silicon Bronze Casting 

Silicon Bronze Casting involves producing high-strength, corrosion-proof Bronze components using controlled Copper-Silicon alloy melts. These castings are widely chosen for demanding environments due to their anti-corrosive, anti-galling, non-magnetic, and high fatigue-resistance properties. Our Silicon Bronze casting foundry uses precision melting furnaces, ceramic filters, thermal treatments, and accurate gating to achieve uniform microstructure. Each melt undergoes spectrometer testing to maintain alloy chemistry as per ASTM B150 or C65500/EN CuSi3Mn1. Silicon Bronze Castings are ideal for Electrical Connectors, Marine Hardware, Transformer Hardware, Eyebolts, Switchgear parts, Architectural fittings, and components subjected to voltage, heat, or seawater. We supply cast-only, semi-machined, or fully CNC-machined Silicon Bronze parts with detailed QC reports, X-ray inspection, tensile certificates, heat charts, and dimensional reports.


Silicon Bronze Casting Foundry

Our Silicon Bronze Casting Foundry in India is equipped with induction furnaces, DISA molding lines, shell molding stations, investment casting setups, and centrifugal casting machines, enabling us to manufacture a wide range of complex Bronze parts. We emphasize strict process control—from melt treatment to mold permeability, sand preparation, shell coating, dewaxing, and heat treatment cycles. The foundry follows ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 practices, and our engineering team assists global customers with drawing optimization, cost reduction, and manufacturability improvements. With in-house machining, we guarantee perfect tolerances, parallelism, concentricity, and surface finish. We export to the USA, UK, Germany, Italy, Australia, and the Middle East with custom packaging, labeling, barcode printing, and robust crate packaging to avoid transit damage.


Silicon Bronze Sand Casting 

Silicon Bronze Sand Casting is ideal for medium-to-large components where strength, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness are crucial. We use high-strength green sand and resin-bonded sand systems to cast connectors, clamps, lugs, pump parts, transformer hardware, and architectural fittings. The process allows complex shapes, undercuts, and high mechanical properties when combined with proper feeding and risering. Our sand casting tolerances typically range from ±0.75 mm to ±1.5 mm depending on size. Each sand cast part is shot-blasted, fettled, heat-treated (where required), and spectro-verified. Sand casting is preferred for Silicon Bronze due to excellent mold filling, reduced turbulence, and stable solidification. Our foundry ensures minimized porosity, uniform wall thickness, and accurate draft angles, suitable for CNC finishing.


Silicon Bronze Investment Casting 

Silicon Bronze Investment Casting (Lost Wax Casting) enables production of complex, precision Bronze components with near-net-shape accuracy. We manufacture detailed parts with tight tolerances (±0.25 mm) using high-purity Silicon Bronze alloys melted in induction furnaces. The investment casting process includes wax injection, ceramic coating, stuccoing, dewaxing, burnout, and metal pouring into high-purity shells. This method is ideal for Transformer clamps, switchgear connectors, hardware used in corrosive atmospheres, marine accessories, decorative Bronze hardware, and thin-section components. Investment cast Silicon Bronze parts require minimal machining and achieve excellent surface finish (Ra 3.2–6.3 μm). Our engineering team optimizes gating, runners, and chills to ensure dimensional stability and reduced shrinkage defects.


Silicon Bronze Centrifugal Casting 

Silicon Bronze Centrifugal Casting is recommended for cylindrical, high-density, porosity-free bushings, rings, and sleeves. We use horizontal and vertical centrifugal machines that generate high g-forces, forcing the molten Silicon Bronze alloy outward to form extremely dense microstructures. Centrifugal castings are preferred for electrical bushings, pump impellers, bearing sleeves, heavy-duty connectors, and components requiring pressure-tightness. The method significantly reduces gas porosity and inclusions, resulting in higher strength and wear resistance. Our dimensional accuracy ranges between ±0.5–1.0 mm, and the internal grain structure is exceptionally refined. Post-machining is done on CNC turning and milling centres to achieve precise bore diameters and concentricity.


Silicon Bronze Hotline Clamps Casting 

Silicon Bronze Hotline Clamps require strength, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance for high-temperature, high-voltage outdoor applications. We manufacture Hotline Clamps using sand or investment casting depending on the required profile. These clamps are used in overhead distribution lines, power transmission, substation connectors, transformer output lines, and corrosive marine zones. Silicon Bronze offers excellent “hot strength” and resistance to stress relaxation, ensuring long service life. Our Hotline Clamps are precision-machined, tapped, and drilled according to customer drawings. Each unit undergoes torque testing, dimensional verification, and mechanical testing to comply with ASTM B150 and utility specifications.


Bronze Transformer Eyebolts Castings 

We manufacture high-strength Bronze Transformer Eyebolts for distribution transformers, power transformers, and substation equipment. These Silicon Bronze eyebolts are designed for heavy mechanical loads, ensuring safe lifting, fastening, and support. Using sand or investment casting, we achieve strong mechanical properties, uniform threads, and perfect surface integrity. The parts are CNC-machined to achieve concentricity, pitch diameter accuracy, and shoulder flatness. We supply eyebolts in different thread standards—UNC, UNF, Metric, BSW, and custom designs. Each eyebolt is tested for tensile load, thread gauge accuracy, and surface finish parameters.


Transformer Connectors in Silicon Bronze (Cast & Machined) 

Silicon Bronze Transformer Connectors are essential components in switchgear, RMUs, transformers, substations, and voltage distribution equipment. Our connectors are cast using precision molds and then fully machined to deliver accurately aligned holes, slots, and mounting interfaces. Silicon Bronze provides outstanding resistance to oxidation, heat, and corrosion—ideal for outdoor and coastal installations. We manufacture T-Connectors, U-Bolts, Parallel Clamps, Spade Terminals, Palm Connectors, NEMA connectors, and customized utility hardware. Each connector is tested for electrical resistance, mechanical torque, and dimensional stability.


Machined Silicon Bronze Casting 

Machined Silicon Bronze Castings offer the precision and reliability needed in electrical, marine, and mechanical assemblies. After casting, each part is machined on CNC-turning, VMC milling, drilling, threading, or tapping centers. We maintain machining tolerances as low as ±0.02 mm, depending on geometry. Silicon Bronze machines cleanly with carbide tools and produces excellent surface finish. Our machining team reviews drawings for manufacturability and suggests cost-saving changes. We manufacture machined castings such as bushings, connectors, clamps, eyebolts, marine fittings, and custom industrial parts.
