Technical Data
Have you considered using phosphor bronze wires? There are many reasons that engineers and manufacturers hold this material in such high esteem. Simply put, they are unique.
Phosphor bronze is considered a bronze alloy that consists of a mixture of tin, copper, phosphorous, lead, and zinc. Although there are many applications for the material, it is mostly used in electrical applications and products. The material is known to have great spring qualities, excellent formability, high fatigue resistance, and high corrosion resistance.
Phosphor bronze has three phases in its structure. These include:
- Delta phase: the material is tin rich, which gives it interspersed and hard throughout the matrix.
- Alpha phase: the material has a soft matrix of copper that has tin in a solid solution.
- Brittle mix: as the name suggests, the material is hard but also fragile.
What are the most common uses of phosphor bronze?
It is used in filtration production. Wire mesh is commonly made using this alloy because it is highly durable and formable. The mesh is used for a variety of filtration applications.
Electronics greatly benefit from phosphor bronze. The material is used to build lead frames, connectors, transistor terminals, and lead terminals.
Most cars and automobiles utilize this material. You can find the material in packing bearings, hydraulic pressure caps, and bearing frames. Straight and cut wire helps these applications.
