Phosphor Bronze
Product Description
Phosphor Bronze is a copper-based alloy that primarily consists of copper, tin, and a small amount of phosphorus. It is known for its exceptional combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and fatigue resistance, which makes it an ideal material for a wide range of applications. The addition of phosphorus enhances the alloy’s wear resistance, lubricity, and its ability to resist corrosion, especially in harsh environments such as seawater.

Properties
-
Elasticity : Phosphor bronze has a high modulus of elasticity, which gives it excellent resilience under stress.
-
Fatigue Resistance : Its high fatigue resistance makes it ideal for components that undergo repetitive stress, such as springs and gears.
-
Conductivity : While phosphor bronze is not as electrically conductive as pure copper, it still has decent conductivity, making it useful for certain electrical applications.
-
Wear Resistancey : The presence of phosphorus significantly improves the alloy’s ability to resist wear, making it ideal for components that are subject to constant friction.
