Bronze Powders Supplied By Makin Metal Powders

We are a specialist supplier of bronze powders in a range of particle sizes and shapes which meet specific technical requirements such as Apparent Density and composition. We manufacture bronze powders on site here in Rochdale and sell large quantities into a wide range of markets and applications around the world.

Bronze Powders Technical Description

Bronze powders are manufactured by water-atomising or air-atomising. In addition, we can offer Dendritic Bronze Powders (see “Speciality Powders”) produced via a sinter-diffusion bonding route to give irregular, spherical and dendritic morphologies respectively. Properties and, therefore, uses vary with particle shape / size / surface area, composition and by carefully selecting the correct grade, bronze powders find applications in diverse markets and technologies.
