Bronze
Bronze is more commonly known for Machining and Engineering but it is also holding popularity within the specialist finishes sector for its unique colour and durability.
Frequently used within the Marine sector due to its corrosion strength against salt-water it is also popular in the Rail, Model Rail and Engineering sector for its strength and durability.
