Why do aircraft carriers have bronze props?

0

It isn’t just aircraft carriers that have bronze propellers, or more exactly phosphor bronze propellers. Many sea-going vessels have propellers of this tough alloy as it is resistant to fatigue, wear and chemical corrosion. The alloy also has a low coefficient of friction which reduces energy loss. The alloy casts very well.
