Grade 932 bronze rods resist wear, impact, and corrosion. These rods withstand friction and are easy to machine, solder, and braze. They are often used for bushings, bearings, valves, and other moving parts and components. Grade 932 is also called SAE 660 bronze and bearing bronze.

Grade 954 bronze rods contain aluminum and iron for added strength, machinability, and wear resistance properties. These corrosion-resistant rods 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.

Ultra-wear-resistant AMPCO 18 bronze rods and discs contain aluminum for added strength and durability. They are often fabricated into high-wear parts like bushings, gears, bearings, valves, pumps, and other components under stress.
