Marine Industry Metal Castings

The maritime industry encounters hazardous environments in port and at sea, including punishing temperatures, enormous swells, and heavy rains. Exposure to these harsh conditions degrades materials, hindering functionality and durability.

Take your marine application to new performance levels with U.S. Bronze Foundry & Machine. We’re a leading manufacturer of high-quality cast metal products for demanding industries.

Durable open-water equipment provider

U.S. Bronze Foundry & Machine produces various marine industry metal castings that optimize vessel or platform equipment usability and longevity. Typical items we manufacture are:

Straight Bushings

When it comes to heavy equipment and industrial machinery, degradation is commonplace.

Liners

As heavy materials pass through minerals processing equipment, components begin to wear.

Screw Down Nut Blanks

Without nuts to hold things together, heavy equipment would fall apart.

Gear Blanks / Worm Gear Blanks

Gears are toothed, mechanical transmission elements used to transfer motion and power between components.

Ring

Cast rings are found all around us, from jet engines to military equipment.

Washer

Heavy equipment and machines are essential for completing industrial functions on time and within budget.

Thrust Collar

Heavy equipment success and failure sometimes comes down to the ability to withstand loads repeatedly.

Cylinder

Whether lifting substantial loads or crushing hard minerals, heavy machinery must tolerate extreme forces repeatedly.

Shaft Sleeves

In industrial applications, pumps and compressors are relied upon to power critical devices.

Tapered Bushings

Unmitigated friction can bring any industrial application to a halt. Protect heavy equipment against wear with tapered bushings from U.S. Bronze Foundry & Machine.

Spider Bushings

Mining and materials-handling operators often must reduce raw material sizes to create something sellable.

Split Bushings

When it comes to heavy machinery, unaddressed friction can be catastrophic.

Flange Bushings

The ability to withstand loads repeatedly is critical for heavy machinery. Boost equipment performance with flange bushings from U.S. Bronze Foundry & Machine.

Eccentric Bushings

Sometimes, being unbalanced better. Take your application to new performance levels with eccentric bushings from U.S. Bronze Foundry & Machine.

Technologies to realize your design

What sets U.S. Bronze Foundry & Machine apart is the ability to produce large cast products tailored to client specifications using static and centrifugal casting techniques. Our capabilities include:

Castings up to 35,000 pounds
Lengths of up to 80 inches for centrifugally cast parts
Outside diameters as large as 158 inches for centrifugally cast parts
No size limit for statically cast parts

Our facility has an in-house machine shop with advanced CNC equipment, enabling us to deliver finished castings with precise dimensions. Eliminating time-consuming outsourced secondary processing streamlines client supply chains. We’re capable of machining workpieces with:

Outside diameters of 150 inches
Lengths of 80 inches
Tolerances are +/- .001 inches

Corrosive conditions call for tough metals

Exposure to heat, salt water, and colossal ocean currents 24 hours per day, seven days per week, puts any application under duress. That’s why part material selection is essential.

The marine industry uses metal alloys that are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and have superior mechanical properties. As a leading marine industry castings manufacturer, we can help find the best material for your marine application. Those we often work with include:

Other metal alloys can be used upon request. Contact us to discuss your needs further.

Looking out for at-sea applications

Whether it’s a pleasure boat, military vessel, or offshore platform, the equipment functionality is paramount. Failure can put essential personnel and the environment at risk. At U.S. Bronze Foundry & Machine, quality is what we value.

Material is acquired from reputable suppliers, and compliance is confirmed upon arrival. Precision testing and measuring equipment ensure every part produced surpasses applicable industry standards and customer specifications. All orders are audited for accuracy before shipment.

We understand that waiting for a single component can keep a vessel tied to the dock. Our team turns around rough parts as quickly as two weeks and finished pieces as fast as eight weeks, depending on lead time and other factors.
