LG4 (Leaded Gunmetal) | BS1400 LG4 Bronze Alloy Castings

LG4 (Leaded Gunmetal) | BS1400 LG4 Bronze Alloy Castings

We are a leading manufacturer and exporter of high-performance LG4 Leaded Gunmetal Bronze Alloy castings. Our products are manufactured in strict accordance with British Standard BS1400: LG4, ensuring consistent quality and performance. LG4 bronze alloy is specially designed for use in high-load applications where strength and corrosion resistance are critical. With excellent casting properties and machinability, LG4 is ideal for making complex components for the marine, engineering, oil & gas, and pump & valve industries. LG4 offers a higher tensile strength than LG2 and delivers excellent resistance to corrosion — especially in saltwater, brine, and other aggressive environments.
