Applications
Leaded bronze ASTM B584 C97600 is used for ornamental castings, window and door hardware, marine furniture and sanitary fittings. Industrial uses include pump and valve components. Other cast components used in this material family include building hardware, decorative fittings, plaques, door and window hardware, furniture components and sculptural castings.
Typical settings include public buildings, commercial interiors and ornamental hardware manufacture. Sanitary, marine-furniture and other equipment uses remain grade-specific; these cast copper-nickel-zinc alloys are not nickel-base turbine alloys.
