Bronzes & Phosphor Bronzes
Binary alloys of copper & tin are called bronzes and can contain up to 12%
tin.An increase in hardness and strength is gained by adding phosphorous to
around 0.25% to make phosphor bronze.
Tin contents can range from 4%-8% in wrought materials or higher if the
alloy is cast.Alloys containing the higher tin levels are particularly
suitable for severe operating conditions. Possesing high corrosion
resistance,excellent tensile& fatigue strength,coupled with superior wear
resistance & bearing/frictional properties.Leaded phosphor bronzes are
produced that machines almost as easily as free-cutting brass.
