Grade 932 bronze flat bars resist friction, wear, impacts, and corrosion. They are easy to machine, solder, and braze and are often manufactured into bushings, bearings, valves, and other moving parts and components. Grade 932 is also called SAE 660 bronze and bearing bronze.

Grade 954 bronze flat bars contain aluminum and iron for added strength, machinability, and wear resistance properties. These corrosion-resistant bars can be welded or brazed and are often manufactured into wear strips and plates, valves, pumps, bearings, and machine tools. Grade 954 bronze is also known as aluminum bronze.
