Phosphor Bronze
Phosphor Bronze
Our phosphor bronze is an alloy of copper which contains certain amount of tin and phosphorus. These alloys are appreciated for their strength, low coefficient of friction, and fine grain. The element of phosphorus also improves the fluidity of the molten metal and thereby improves the cast ability, and enhances mechanical properties by cleaning up the grain boundaries.
Phosphor bronze is a type of bronze alloy that contains a significant amount of phosphorus as one of its primary alloying elements, in addition to copper and tin. The exact composition of phosphor bronze can vary, but it typically consists of around 3.5-10% tin and 0.01-0.35% phosphorus, with the remainder being copper. This alloy is known for its unique combination of properties, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
