Professional Bronze Cutting Services
In metal fabrication, bronze is a critical material for several industrial applications, known for its diverse capabilities. Traditionally, CO₂ lasers have been known to face challenges when cutting ‘yellow metals’ due to their reflective properties. In modern manufacturing, Charles Day Steels aims to tackle this by investing in innovative fibre laser solutions that offer quality, clean-cut results.
As part of our commitment to quality, our fleet of cutting-edge machines guarantees highly refined precision, intricate design capability, eliminating reflective issues while maintaining material integrity. These lasers ensure minimal distortion and consistent accuracy, processing sheet sizes up to 6m x 2.5m across complex and high-volume projects.
With the ability to cut up to 20mm thick, laser cutting is particularly advantageous for industries requiring quality metalwork, such as electronics, aerospace, and decorative parts. Despite bronze being categorised as a challenging metal to work with, we are confident in our skilled laser cutting techniques, accompanied by waterjet cutting for thicker sheets; we embrace the challenges.
Typical Bronze Cutting Applications
Bronze is valued for its strength and resistance to corrosion and wear. Typical applications include:
- Bearings and bushings
- Pump and valve components
- Marine hardware
- Sculptures and art pieces
- Architectural elements

Cutting Edge Quality
To prevent oxidisation and ensure a clean, blemish-free cut with no discolouration, we shroud the laser in nitrogen gases, so they’re ready for welding without any extra machining. Bronze can be laser cut up to 5mm and maintain a smooth cut edge.
Bronze Cutting Grades
We can laser cut a range of bronze grades and alloys. The most commonly asked for:
- PB103
If the grade you require is not on this list, we should still be able to source and cut it. Please contact us with your exact grade requirements.
Sheet Metal Laser Cutting Thicknesses
With a plethora of in-house laser cutting capabilities, we can laser cut sheet metal in a variety of thicknesses depending on the material selected.

Benefits of Bronze Cutting by Charles Day Steels
Precision Cutting
Our state-of-the-art fibre laser technology ensures precise cuts with minimal distortion, resulting in a high calibre of finish that meets the relevant requirements of several industries. Our machines ensure flawless execution and detailed designs.
Versatility
We’re capable of handling a broad range of applications with our laser cutting processes, cutting parts for electrical components to decorative hardware, with the scope to handle varying thicknesses and grades of bronze. We endeavour to provide adaptable and dynamic services to your requirements.
Clean Cut Edges
Laser cutting is remarkable at producing smooth edges, clean cuts and mitigating burrs or rough edges left from mechanical cutting methods. This significantly reduced the need for second finishings, which cuts labour expenses, post-processing times, and ready-to-use assembly parts.
No Surface Contact
Due to the non-contact process of laser cutting, the surface of the material is not at risk of damage or contamination. This is especially beneficial for bronze, resulting in clean and unmarred surfaces for structural and aesthetic applications.
Complex Shapes
Our laser cutting machines aid the fabrication of fragile, intricate, and complex designs with high precision. This is beneficial for industries that require bespoke components, particularly for automotive, electrical and decorative parts. Due to its high volume capability, laser cutting can be set apart from traditional cutting methods.
Cost Effectiveness
Cutting-edge and innovative laser cutting machines offer cost-effective advantages over traditional methods such as milling and punching. Automation capabilities increase the ability for mass production without compromising quality, establish rapid lead times and eliminate material waste.
In-House Bending & Pressing
Charles Day Steels accompanies its bronze cutting services by providing in-house bending and pressing services for ductile materials. Our remarkable project lead times and 24/7 production ensure that your project’s assembly processes are efficient and meet a high standard of quality.
We process a broad spectrum of materials, including copper, brass, bronze, mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and more. For additional information about bending and pressing solutions, get in touch with a member of our team today.
