Bronze fittings have long been utilized by various industries due to their exceptional corrosion resistance. This durability stems largely from their composition containing copper and tin as primary constituents - qualities which ensure long term reliability even under harsh environmental conditions such as moisture or chemical attack.
Bronze fittings boast excellent machinability, making them highly adaptable to meeting specific customer requirements for shaping and customizing according to specific designs and dimensions. Their excellent machinability also lends themselves well to various applications requiring precise dimensions or intricate designs, drilling, cutting or milling processes make these components easily adaptable enough for production use.
Bronze fittings not only boast excellent machinability, but they are also known for their superior weldability, making joining processes faster in various applications. Welding bronze fittings helps ensure secure connections and structural integrity, contributing towards the reliability of systems or equipment where they're included, making these versatile components suitable for industries requiring robust yet resilient assemblies.
Bronze fittings find use across numerous industries, from marine and offshore structures to plumbing systems and fixtures, automotive, and aerospace sectors. Marine applications especially appreciate bronze's resistance to saltwater corrosion; making it suitable for shipbuilding or offshore structures such as floating platforms or docks. Plumbing systems cherish them due to their reliability and longevity ensuring leak-free connections within pipelines or plumbing fixtures.
Bronze fittings find widespread application in hydraulic and pneumatic systems for efficient fluid and gas handling, due to their corrosion-resistance and mechanical strength properties. Their corrosion-proof valves, connectors, and couplings help minimize downtime during operations while their corrosion protection ensures smooth running operations with minimum downtime. Furthermore, bronze fittings have long been utilized by industrial machines, electrical components, and architectural structures as they meet demanding performance criteria with their combination of properties.
Bronze fittings play an integral part in many industrial processes, providing fluid conveyance, structural support and electrical connectivity. Their applications range from hydraulic systems and pneumatic equipment through manufacturing equipment and infrastructure projects - right down to aerospace engineering, automotive production or construction where bronze fittings play a critical role in providing reliability, durability and safety across a range of projects.

Forging
Making method of forged fittings,using forging machine bevels the pipe end or extension, reduce the outside diameter.
Rolling Wheel
Butt weld fittings, putting the core in the pipe. Then pushing the external by roller and processing the rim.
Stamping
Using tapered core to expand the pipe end to the required size and shape in the punching machine.
Bending
For making elbow and bend fittings. There are three commonly methods. One is stretching , another is stamping , the third is roller , there are 3-4 rollers.
Bulging
A rubber is placed in the tube and the top with a punch compression, then the pipe is bulged forming; Another method is hydraulic bulging forming.
