Copper, Brass and Bronze are among the most versatile and reliable copper-based alloys. Known for their strength, resistance to corrosion, and excellent machinability, they are used across a wide range of industries – from construction and marine applications to power transmission, furniture, and mechanical engineering.
At MTT, we supply a carefully selected range of brass and bronze products to meet the diverse needs of South Africa’s industrial and technical sectors. With decades of experience in the non-ferrous industry, we provide materials that combine precision, reliability, and performance.
MTT offers three complementary product groups that cover a wide field of applications:
rolled and extruded products, including sheets, strips, bars, tubing, wire, and alloys
rolled and extruded products, including sheets, strips, bars, tubing, wire, and alloys
bars, sheets, tubes, and high-performance bearing alloys for heavy-duty use
Copper is valued for it’s high conductivity in the electric and electronic industry but also for it’s aesthetics and longevity in the building, signage and furniture industries.
It’s also extensively used for heat-exchangers, fridges and other cooling and heating applications.
Our range includes:
Extensively used for all cooling and heating applications, such as air-conditioners, heat-exchangers and fridges.
Extruded products are mainly used in the electrical engineering industry due to its high conductivity and durability.
Used for all kinds of electric cables – high and low voltage.
Brass is prized for its conductivity, corrosion resistance, and versatility, making it suitable for both functional and decorative applications.
Rolled brass products are widely used in construction, roofing, and the electrical industry.
Our rolled range includes:
Extruded brass products are strong, machinable, and versatile for mechanical and decorative applications.
Our extruded range includes:
Brass wire combines strength and formability, making it a popular material for precision and fastening components.
Our brass wire range includes:
Riveting brass wire – reliable material for fasteners and precision rivets in engineering and construction
We also offer specialized brass alloys, such as CW614N and CW617N, which are widely used in machining, valves, fittings, and complex engineering applications thanks to their excellent processing properties.
Bronze has been valued for centuries for its exceptional wear resistance, durability, and stability under demanding conditions. Today, it remains one of the most reliable alloys in industries where load-bearing, sliding, and corrosion-resistant properties are essential.
Bronze sheets offer excellent dimensional stability and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for architectural, marine, and industrial applications. They are commonly used in cladding, wear plates, decorative components, and mechanical parts where strength and aesthetics must go hand in hand.
Bronze bars combine machinability with durability, making them ideal for parts that require high performance in mechanical systems. Typical uses include gears, valves, bushings, and wear-resistant machine components that operate under friction or heavy loads.
Bronze tubes are widely used in hydraulic systems, fluid handling, and structural components. Thanks to their strength and resistance to corrosion, they are also reliable in marine engineering, offshore platforms, and industrial piping systems where longevity is critical.
Bearing bronzes are specially developed to withstand continuous movement, extreme pressures, and heavy-duty industrial use. They provide excellent anti-friction properties, making them the material of choice for plain bearings, thrust washers, and sliding components in mining, construction, and heavy machinery.
MTT supplies brass and bronze solutions to a broad range of industries, with materials chosen for their durability, conductivity, corrosion resistance, and machinability. Our alloys are tailored to meet the specific requirements of each sector:
