Types of Bronze alloys

2. INTRODUCTION
 Bronze is not a pure metal, but rather, a metal alloy.
 This is because it contains various metals and alloys.
 It is mostly comprised of copper, but also retains a few
other common metal constituents. Generally, tin is
added in, but alloys like aluminum, arsenic, manganese,
phosphorous, and silicon are sometimes used as well.
 This means there are various versions of bronze alloys,
all of which retaining separate attributes and properties.
But the collective property among them all is strength.
When these metal constituents are added to copper, it
makes it much stronger.
 This is why bronze is a common metal used in the
construction of musical instruments, sculptures, medals,
and several industrial applications (i.e. bearings,
bushings, etc.).

3. LIST OF BRONZE ALLOYS:-
 Aluminum Bronze
 Phosphor Bronze
 Silicon Bronze
 Magnesium Bronze
 Nickel Brass
 Copper Nickel

4. ALUMINUM BRONZE
 Aluminum bronze has superior strength and
corrosive-resistant qualities.
 It contains several additives to achieve this level of
performance, anywhere 6% to 12% of aluminum,
and at the most, 6% iron and 6% nickel.
 You will see aluminum bronze in few industries, but
common applications include the manufacturing of
marine hardware, sleeve bearings, and pumps that
transport corrosive fluids.

5. PHOSPHOR BRONZE
 Phosphor bronze is also called “tin bronze”
because it generally contains between 0.5% to 1%
tin and between 0.01% and 0.35% phosphorous.
 This combination gives the metal alloy incredible
strength, but also fine grain, durability, high fatigue
resistance, and a low coefficient of friction.
 The anti-corrosive and strength qualities are thanks
to the tin content, while the rest is a result of
sufficient phosphorous levels.
 It is most commonly used to manufacture anti-
corrosive equipment, as well as, electrical
components, washers, springs, bellows, and more.

6. SILICON BRONZE
 Also called “red silicon bronze”, silicon bronze
contains copper, but also silicon and zinc.
 Most often, it has a zinc content of 20%, and a
silicon content no greater than 6%.
 The most common application is the manufacturing
of pumps and valves parts.

7. MAGNESIUM BRONZE
 Manganese bronze, the strongest of the "as cast"
bronze, is used primarily for heavy duty mechanical
products.
 They provide moderately good corrosion
resistance.
 Typical uses:
 Brackets, Shafts, Gears, Structural parts, Screw
down nuts, Slow-speed heavy load bearings,
Gears, Gibbs and cams, Free machine parts, Lever
arms, Light duty gears, Marine fittings, Valve stems,
Propellers for salt and fresh water, Machinery parts
substituting for steel and malleable iron

8. NICKEL BRASS
 Also known as “nickel silver”, nickel brass is a metal
alloy made up of copper, tin, and you guess it,
nickel.
 The nickel content renders the metal a silver color,
while the copper and tin provide tensile strength
and corrosive-resistant qualities.
 For these reasons, it is used often to make musical
instruments, optical equipment, food and beverage
equipment, and more.

9. COPPER NICKEL
 Copper nickel has a high content of nickel, giving it
its name. However, the actual amount of nickel can
range greatly.
 The nickel content can be as low as 2%, or as high
as 30%! And like the other bronze alloys, it is strong
and corrosive-resistant.
 But it also has high thermal stability, making it
useful in the manufacturing of electronic
components, marine equipment, ship hulls, and
more.
