Bronze & Non-Ferrous Metal Products for UK Industry
Bronze supplied in a range of grades, forms and sizes.
Bronze Stockholders and Suppliers
As a UK supplier of bronze and other non-ferrous metal products, ILF Products supplies bronze in metric and imperial sizes, covering standard material as well as project-specific requirements. Forms include flat bar, round bar, sheet, plate, coil, profile, hexagon and tube. Where required, we also offer cut-to-size options so that material arrives ready for machining or fabrication.
What is Bronze?
Bronze is a copper-based alloy known for its strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and long service life. For this reason, it is commonly specified in engineering, marine, defence, manufacturing and industrial applications where durability is critical.

Why Choose ILF for Bronze Supply?
The term bronze covers a diverse family of alloys. Each offers different levels of strength, wear resistance, corrosion performance and machinability. ILF Products supplies aluminium bronze, phosphor bronze, gunmetal and other grades in a choice of forms. Consequently, we help customers source material that suits their engineering, marine or industrial requirement, rather than settling for the nearest available option.

Metric and Imperial Sizes
Bronze products come in metric and imperial sizes, although availability depends on the grade and form you require.
1
Bronze Grade Support
We can support bronze grades including aluminium bronze, phosphor bronze and gunmetal, and match the grade to your application.
3
Cut-to-Size Options
Rather than supplying only full sheets or full lengths, we can cut many bronze products to size for your project.

Grades & Typical Applications
Bronze alloy families each provide a different combination of strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and machinability. Choosing the right grade therefore depends on the operating environment and the demands placed on the finished component. The table below outlines common bronze types and their typical applications.
| Bronze Type | Typical Applications |
|---|---|
| Aluminium Bronze | Marine, offshore and engineering components requiring strength and corrosion resistance |
| Nickel Aluminium Bronze | Demanding marine, defence and heavy engineering applications |
| Aluminium Silicon Bronze | Specialist engineering components requiring strength and corrosion resistance |
| PB102 Phosphor Bronze | Gears, bushes, general engineering parts and components requiring good wear resistance |
| PB104 Phosphor Bronze | Higher-performance bearings, wear components and demanding mechanical applications |
| PB1 Phosphor Bronze | Bearings and components operating under medium to heavy loads |
| LG1 / LG2 Gunmetal | Pumps, valves, bearings and general engineering components |
| SAE660 Bronze | Bearings, bushes and wear components |
ILF Products supplies bronze in metric and imperial sizes across flat bar, round bar, sheet, plate, coil, profile, hexagon and tube. If your required grade is not listed above, speak to our team; in addition to stock, we can check sourcing options for you.
