Production Process
Copper, tin, and phosphorus make up phosphor bronze
The three metals are melted together to form the new alloy
The final alloy is made up of 95% copper
Pros/Cons
Applications
Industrial Components
Phosphor bronze is known for high performance, processability, and reliability. It's used to make parts for many industrial fields. It's an alloy of copper containing both tin and phosphorus. This gives the metal more fluidity in its molten state, allowing for easier casting and molding processes like press punching, bending, and drawing.
It's commonly used in the manufacturing of springs, fasteners, and bolts. These parts need to be resistant to fatigue and wear while exhibiting high elasticity. Digital electronics, automatic controllers, and automobiles all contain parts made with Phosphor Bronze.
Marine
To be considered marine-grade, the material used in underwater components must be able to resist corrosive effects common to water environments.
Components like propellers, propeller shafts, pipes, and marine fasteners made from phosphor bronze possess very good resistance to corrosion and fatigue.
Dental
As strong as phosphor bronze is, its properties also lend themselves to delicate, everlasting application in dental bridges.
The benefit in dental work is its resistance to corrosion. Used to provide the basis for tooth implants, dental bridges made with phosphor bronze typically maintain their shape over time, and can be used to make partial or full implants.
