Aluminum bronzes such as BA18 provide superior hardness and corrosion resistance to other bronze alloys. It is used in applications where the importance of corrosion resistance is high and in marine water environments.

Aluminum together with iron and nickel in BA18 C95500 acts as a reinforcer in these alloys. All aluminum bronzes can be heat treated, which further increases tensile strength.

The UNS C95200 copper alloy is released from tension at 316 ° C (600 ° F). The time needed to relieve stress is approximately 1 h / inch thick. This alloy does not respond to heat treatment.
