I need to put a bronze sleeve into an aluminum casting to repair a corroded surface. At least I would prefer to use bronze as there is salt water involved. However it might be that bronze won't be suitable due to the difference in thermal coefficient of expansion between the casting and the sleeve over the 100F change in temp that this normally sees.
I'm trying to figure out how much interference to use and how much the ID of my sleeve will change once inserted so I can arrive at something close to my desired size. I also plan to use loctite on the od of the sleeve.
If bronze is not suitable then the same question for an aluminum sleeve.
Quick drawing and photos attached.
All comments appreciated!
