What Does Advance Bronze Inc. Do?

Advance Bronze, located in Lodi, OH, is a leading manufacturer of centrifugal castings, continuous cast bronze, and other custom bronze components, proudly made in the USA. We specialize in producing high-quality bronze alloys for a wide range of industrial applications, delivering components that meet or exceed industry standards. Our commitment to providing exceptional quality, consistent performance, and responsive customer support ensures reliable solutions that our customers can trust.

With over 50 years of experience, our team consistently delivers high-quality products, tight tolerances, and reliable lead times on every order. We provide OEMs, distributors, and machine shops with high-quality bronze, from bar stock to custom-machined components, to bronze alloy compositions.

CENTRIFUGALLY CAST BRONZE

Centrifugal casting is a manufacturing process that involves rotating a mold around a singular axis while pouring molten metal into that mold. This technique creates cylindrical shapes and aids in uniform grain structure, reduction in material defects, and improved mechanical properties.

CONTINUOUS CAST BRONZE

Continuous casting is a manufacturing process where molten metal is poured into a mold allowing it to solidify into a continuous strand of material. Once cooled, the desired lengths are cut for further processing. Continuous casting can create solid round, tube, rectangular bar, and miscellaneous shapes.

MACHINING CAPABILITIES

Equipped with CNC lathes, mills, and manual machines, our capacity and size capabilities make machining finished components seamlessly flow through production
