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 Punching
C954 Aluminum Bronze behaves predictably under CNC Punching once parameters are dialled in: machinability is moderate; tough, strong, corrosion-resistant, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of C954 Aluminum Bronze run consistently from one batch to the next.
Achievable Tolerances for CNC Punching C954 Aluminum Bronze
| Feature | Standard | Precision |
|---|---|---|
| Hole position across sheet | ±0.15 mm | ±0.10 mm |
| Hole diameter | ±0.10 mm | ±0.05 mm |
| Overall blank size | ±0.20 mm | ±0.10 mm |
| Minimum hole | 1.0 × thickness | 0.8 × thickness |
| Hole-to-edge distance | 2.0 × thickness | 1.5 × thickness |
| Burr height | 0.08 mm | 0.03 mm (deburred) |
| Sheet thickness range | 0.5–6.0 mm | 0.5–3.0 mm |
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 Punching Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every C954 Aluminum Bronze part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Design Tips for CNC Punching C954 Aluminum Bronze
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Keeping hole-to-edge and hole-to-hole distances at least 1.5–2× thickness avoids distortion and tearing in punched C954 Aluminum Bronze. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished C954 Aluminum Bronze parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
Why C954 Aluminum Bronze?
C954 Aluminum Bronze is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is high-strength and seawater-corrosion-resistant. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
CNC Punching Tolerances & Surface Finish
Punched C954 Aluminum Bronze holds hole-position repeatability around ±0.10 mm across the sheet, with consistent hole quality when punch/die clearance is matched to the gauge.
Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.
Applications of CNC Punching C954 Aluminum Bronze
Customers order CNC Punching C954 Aluminum Bronze components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.

What We Need to Quote CNC Punching 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.
