Published typical values for C93200 (SAE 660). Other grades in the family differ — the certificate supplied with your order carries the actual heat-lot figures.
Cast bearing bronze has porosity. On sealing faces we specify continuous-cast stock rather than sand-cast, because a pinhole in a bore face is not repairable.
Machining C954 Aluminum Bronze with CNC 4-Axis Machining
When machining C954 Aluminum Bronze, machinability is moderate; tough, strong, corrosion-resistant. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for C954 Aluminum Bronze mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
Achievable Tolerances for CNC 4-Axis Machining C954 Aluminum Bronze
| Feature | Standard | Precision |
|---|---|---|
| Linear dimension (< 100 mm) | ±0.05 mm | ±0.010 mm |
| Linear dimension (100–300 mm) | ±0.10 mm | ±0.025 mm |
| Hole diameter (reamed) | H9 | H7 |
| True position of hole pattern | ±0.10 mm | ±0.025 mm |
| Flatness over 100 mm | 0.05 mm | 0.015 mm |
| Perpendicularity | 0.10 mm | 0.020 mm |
| Surface finish, as machined | Ra 1.6 µm | Ra 0.4 µm |
Standard is what a normal quotation assumes. Precision is available on nominated features and is priced separately, because it needs extra setups, in-process gauging and CMM verification. Call out only the features that need it — blanket-tightening a drawing is the single most common reason a quote comes back expensive.
CNC 4-Axis Machining Tolerances & Surface Finish
For CNC 4-Axis Machining, dimensional and positional tolerances around ±0.01 mm are routine, tightening toward ±0.005 mm on precision setups. Surface finish on machined faces typically falls in the Ra 0.4–1.6 µm range depending on tooling and pass strategy.
Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.
Why C954 Aluminum Bronze?
Customers select C954 Aluminum Bronze for CNC 4-Axis Machining because it is high-strength and seawater-corrosion-resistant. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most C954 Aluminum Bronze parts need some finishing, which we manage in-house or through vetted partners. Options include deburring and edge-breaking, heat treatment, surface grinding, polishing, and plating or anodising for corrosion resistance and appearance. Give us the finished-part requirement and we will sequence every operation correctly.
Design Tips for CNC 4-Axis Machining C954 Aluminum Bronze
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Generous internal radii, sensible pocket depth-to-width ratios and avoiding very thin unsupported walls all reduce cost and improve accuracy in C954 Aluminum Bronze. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
CNC 4-Axis Machining Quality & Inspection
Quality is built in, not inspected on. We monitor key features during the run and confirm them at final inspection, with CMM verification available for tight tolerances. We provide the inspection and traceability records your quality system requires.
Applications of CNC 4-Axis Machining C954 Aluminum Bronze
C954 Aluminum Bronze parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.

What We Need to Quote CNC 4-Axis Machining C954 Aluminum Bronze
- GeometrySTEP or IGES for the 3D model, plus a PDF drawing if you have tolerance callouts. A dimensioned sketch is enough to start.
- MaterialThe exact C954 Aluminum Bronze grade and condition — temper, heat-treat state or hardness. If you are not sure, tell us the function and we will suggest one.
- QuantityPrototype count and the expected annual volume. Both change how the part is made and therefore what it costs.
- TolerancesWhich features are critical. Everything else runs to our standard tolerance, which is what keeps the price sensible.
- FinishSurface treatment, cosmetic requirements, and any faces that must be masked.
- DocumentsWhether you need a material certificate, dimensional report, FAIR or PPAP with the shipment.
Missing something from the list is not a problem — send what you have. We will come back with the specific questions rather than a generic form.

Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
Does CNC 4-Axis Machining C954 Aluminum Bronze require dedicated tooling?
Most C954 Aluminum Bronze machining work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC 4-Axis Machining C954 Aluminum Bronze?
We machine C954 Aluminum Bronze across a broad size range; share your part envelope for confirmation.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC 4-Axis Machining C954 Aluminum Bronze?
Achievable tolerances for C954 Aluminum Bronze machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Milling holds positional and dimensional tolerances to around ±0.01 mm, tighter with precision setups. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Why is C954 Aluminum Bronze a good choice for CNC 4-Axis Machining?
C954 Aluminum Bronze is high-strength and seawater-corrosion-resistant, which makes it well suited to CNC 4-Axis Machining. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished C954 Aluminum Bronze machining part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
