What is Phosphor Bronze?

Phosphor bronze is a copper alloy composed of copper that is alloyed with tin & phosphorus and it is commonly known as Phos bronze or tin bronze. It was originally created by the Belgian Georges Montefiore-Levi. The alloyed tin increases the corrosion resistance and strength of copper, while phosphorus increases its wear resistance and stiffness.

It is a highly-valuable, specialty metal having many positive attributes such as toughness, strength, low coefficient of friction, and fine grain which makes it suitable to manufacture parts for many industrial fields. Phosphorus lowers the viscosity of the molten alloy, making casting easier, and cleaner and also reducing grain boundaries between crystallites.

Phosphor bronze is useful in electrical conduits and other caustic environments due to its tarnish and corrosion-resistant property. Phosphor bronze has wide range of applications such as it is used for springs, bolts, bushings & bearings, welding rods, jewellery, guitar strings, dental bridges and various other products or assemblies where resistance to fatigue, wear, and corrosion are required.

It possesses good physical properties, fair electrical conductivity and moderate cost which makes it available in various formats such as standard round, square, flat and special format wire. There are several types of phosphor bronze including C54400, C5191, C5210 and several others.

Phosphor bronze is a proven engineering material that fits numerous designer standards and it has been used for many years in several industries but it is still finding new uses because of increasing adoption of advance technologies and demand for specialized materials.

Thus, the increasing uses of phosphor bronze in many industries is anticipated to have positive impact on growth of market.
