Power & Transport

World-class power and transport material selection

Copper Alloys has bridged the gap between conductivity and strength with a range of unique copper alloys. Through extreme material testing and failure analysis, our metallurgists and engineers develop products that are resilient to potential deterioration and therefore are expected to last much longer than standard alloys.

Our alloys made for the power and transport industries can be tailored to your specific application or environment. Our custom metals feature enhanced properties within existing specifications that maximise performance. Our range of Elite Bearing Alloys includes Freerun SL, a Leaded Phosphor Bronze available in hard wearing (SL 340), medium wearing (SL 300) and soft wearing (SL 240) with increasing self-lubrication and reducing yield strength.

Our selection of Elite Bearing Alloys also includes Freerun LW, a long wearing Phosphor Bronze alloy available in a range of formats made to order and ex-stock, such as bar, rings, tubes, and sections. These alloys are available in hard wearing (LW-600) and soft wearing (LW-400) with increasing tensile strength and reducing friction.

A single source for transport and power generation alloys

Certified by the British Standards Institution Quality Register to ISO 9001: 2015 AS9100, Copper Alloys produces complex, world-class materials and components that promise to stand the test of time. Our approach to complete quality management enables us to create and supply products that will provide the best value throughout their lifetime.

Our rigorous on-site testing prevents wasted materials whilst ensuring high performance and integrity. With years of project experience in both transport and power, our custom solutions allow us to understand specifications and requirements in every stage of the production process.

Our team is committed to meeting agreed delivery dates, no matter how pressing. We have used many resources to develop a Quality Management System that minimises risk and ensures commitments are realistic. With adept experience in supporting the power and transport industry, Copper Alloys works with some of the world’s most advanced engineering organisations. We design and manufacture alloys for applications in power generation and transport of any shape or scale, including bars, forgings, rings, and pipes.

Tested in extreme environments through failure analysis, each material promises to exceed your expectations.
