The structure and properties of cast chromium bronze containing 2% Cr are studied. Ingots with a mass of up to 9.5 kg and a diameter of 70 mm are fabricated by arc melting with consumable electrode. The variation of the density, mechanical characteristics, and hardness over the height and diameter of the ingots is determined. The structure of the bronze is studied by the method of scanning electron microscopy.
