Phosphor Bronze Pipes
Phosphor bronze alloys are primarily used for electrical products
because they have superb spring qualities, high fatigue resistance,
excellent formability, and high corrosion resistance. The addition of
tin increases the corrosion resistance and strength of the alloy.
Phosphor bronze is used for springs, bolts and various other items used
in situations where resistance to fatigue, wear and chemical corrosion
are required (e.g., a ship's propellers in a marine environment). The
alloy is also used in some dental bridges.
The addition of tin increases the corrosion resistance and strength of
the alloy. The phosphorous increases the wear resistance and stiffness
of the alloy. The phosphor bronzes have superb spring qualities, high
fatigue resistance, excellent formability and solderability, and high
corrosion resistance.
There are many different industrial uses of phosphor bronze, including making
springs, making bolts, making propellers for ships...
