The global bronze rods market is undergoing significant growth, mostly driven by soaring demand across numerous industries, such as construction, automotive, and marine. Bronze rods has diverse applications due to its excellent attributes, including thermal conductivity, high strength, and corrosion resistance. In the automotive industry, bronze is utilized to manufacture components that demand durable and resistant metals. According to Rotax Metals, a manufacturer of bronze and bronze products, bronze is extremely durable and naturally resistant to corrosion. It is also highly ductile, allowing manufacturers to easily form bronze into channels, sheets, and angles. Pertaining to these attributes, bronze rods are extremely useful in marine industry as well. It is an ideal metal for shipbuilding as it can efficiently offer seawater corrosion resistance.
Furthermore, the market substantially benefits from the rapid inclination towards the adoption of recyclable and sustainable materials. Bronze aligns with this trend as it is a recyclable metal. Additionally, using recycled bronze is cost-efficient which appeals to various sectors and increases the product demand. According to ResearchGate, the use of secondary metals is of crucial importance, since the costs of involving metal waste into circulation are significantly less than for smelting primary metal from ore. Recycling of non-ferrous metal scrap, including bronze, is especially relevant due to the high cost of raw materials. Additionally, the increase in mining and metallurgic wastes and pollution has compelled the industries to utilize recyclable metals, which primarily includes bronze. According to Journal of Environmental Management, waste generated due to mining activity poses a serious issue due to the large amounts generated, even up to 65 billion tons per year, and is often associated with the risk posed by its storage and environmental management.
Increasing Product Demand in Marine and Automotive Industries
The market of bronze rods is primarily influenced by its heightened demand in marine and automotive industries due to its excellent characteristics, including corrosion resistance and high strength. In marine industry, bronze rods are used in manufacturing ship valves, propellers, and pumps due to its excellent resistant to seawater corrosion. In the automotive industry, it is required to manufacture components that have to brace heavy wear and tear, including gears, bearings, and bushings.
Companies like Shanghai Metal Corporation manufactures Manganese Bronze Rods, grade AMS 4862, which has outstanding mechanical properties to withstand the most rigorous industrial requirements. Its high strength and corrosion resistance make it ideal for heavy-duty construction. Key features include excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high strength resistance. It can be used in marine industry for marine hardware, boat parts, covers for marine hardware, rudders, clamps, and prop shaft nuts. In automotive industry, it can be used for production of cams, transmission parts, connector rods, builders’ hardware, and brackets.
Increasing Trend of Recyclable and Sustainable Products
Various industrial sectors are rapidly embracing the utilization of recyclable metals in order to align with growing environmental concerns and rising trend of sustainability. According to a research article, waste produced by the mining industry is 7 billion tons per year, and according to the latest estimates, 19 billion tons of mining solid waste will accumulate by 2025. Waste generation due to mining and metallurgic activities has resulted in implementation of stricter environmental law which has propelled the demand for bronze metal since it is completely recyclable. According to Cohen Recycling, one of the largest non-ferrous and ferrous metal recycling companies in U.S., recycled bronze can be used in many different applications and helps reduce the overall environmental impact of manufacturing processes. It also decreases the need for expensive extraction methods that could damage local ecosystems or deplete non-renewable resources.
Weiland Chase manufactures Eco Bronze C87850, which is a high performance, lead-free, silicon bronze rods that is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. These rods are devoid of arsenic and bismuth and 100% recyclable.
