Abstract This chapter provides an overview of various bronzes with special attention to aerospace applications. Bronzes consist of several families of alloys but only those with specific properties applicable to the aircraft industries are discussed here. Bronze alloys like tin bronzes (C5100–C54400), beryllium bronzes, manganese bronzes, high leaded tin bronzes, oil impregnated bronzes, aluminium bronzes and silicon bronzes are some of the bronzes which have found their place in aircraft applications. This chapter briefly discusses these bronzes, highlighting their physical metallurgy, processing and properties. A specific part of this chapter has been dedicated to discussing the indigenous development of two types of bronzes, Al-bronzes and Si-bronzes, mainly for aerospace applications. These two bronze types have been specifically developed for fabrication of anti-friction bearing cages for aircraft and have to undergo rigorous quality assurance during production type certification.
