Continuous casting is the most productive method of casting. Manufacturers often tend to increase casting velocity without taking into account the fact that it can cause latent defects within the casting and accordingly lead to a deterioration of the mechanical properties of product. The casting process of tin bronzes encumbers high shrinkage and high segregation in the cross section of the castings. The research was performed on three types of tin bronze alloys CuSn12-C, CuSn5Zn5Pb2-C, and CuSn7Zn3Pb7-C (EN 1982:2008). Influence of casting velocity on mechanical properties and macrostructure was studied and optimal velocity parameters were given. The following study revealed a significant effect of the velocity of continuous casting on the mechanical properties of tin bronze, which was also reflected in the macrostructure of the selected samples. Based on the results of the study the recommendations about the optimal casting parameters to increase a quality of end-product were given. The recommendations were later implemented in the manufacturing confirming the value of this study.
