C954 aluminum bronze is a cast alloy with high strength, mid-range machinability rating of 60% and excellent resistance to corrosion. It can be heat treated to enhance its mechanical properties and to comply with more demanding applications. While not recommended for oxyacetylene welding, C954 can be joined using soldering, brazing, gas shielded and coated metal arc welding. Typical applications include bushings, bearings, gear parts, fasteners, marine hardware, welding guns and pump parts.
