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.
