Power Generation Castings
From operating household appliances to connecting international businesses, electricity is critical for communities around the world. Whether it’s coal, natural gas, renewable, or nuclear, power plants must remain operable to meet growing energy demands.
Optimize power generation equipment functionality with U.S. Bronze Foundry & Machine. Our power generation castings stand up to extreme temperatures, corrosion, and wear, keeping machinery operating optimally.
Your power generation cast parts source
U.S. Bronze Foundry & Machine is a full-service manufacturer of power generation castings. Our team produces various cast metal parts that optimize power equipment functionality and longevity, lowering operating costs, including:
- Facing Plates
- Inner and Outer Wearing Ring
- Valve Body Insert
Each casting step is performed in-house under the direction of a knowledgeable engineering team. Our capabilities include:
- Research & Design
- Mold-Making
- Prototyping
- Full-Scale Casting
- Finished Machining
- Inspection
- Delivery
The power generation industry utilizes a wide array of equipment, like generators, boilers, heat exchangers, gas and steam turbines, windmills, nuclear reactors, and solar arrays, to name a few. Sometimes the size, age, or location of these devices means custom parts are required for service.
Critical power suppliers require huge parts
U.S. Bronze Foundry & Machine manufactures power generation castings of any size, but our area of expertise is large cast products tailored to client specifications. We utilize static and centrifugal casting techniques and have the following capabilities:
- 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
An onsite machine shop enables us to deliver finished castings with precise dimensions. As a result, the lead time associated with secondary processing is eliminated. The shop contains advanced CNC equipment capable of machining workpieces with:
- Outside diameters of 150 inches
- Lengths of 80 inches
- Tolerances are +/- .001 inches
Materials that fit your requirements
Different types of bronze are used in power generation, including aluminum bronze, phosphor bronze, silicon bronze, manganese bronze, lead tin bronze, and tin bronze:
- Aluminum bronze: Used in hydroelectric plants, marine energy devices, and other applications. Aluminum bronze is strong, resistant to corrosion and biofouling, and has good fatigue resistance.
- Phosphor bronze: Used in bushings for turbines, generators, and pumps. Phosphor bronze bushings are resistant to corrosion and wear, and have a high load capacity.
- Silicon bronze: Used in power and energy industries, as well as in marine environments, refineries, and general construction. Silicon bronze is strong, durable, and resistant to corrosion.
