Phosphor Bronze
The inclusion of phosphorus (typically up to 0.35%) increases the stiffness and wear resistance of the alloy. It acts as a deoxidant which improves fluidity and therefore the castability of the material. Whilst the alloy is well known for high corrosion resistance and good wear resistance characteristics, the phosphor bronze Round Bar also offers good thermal and electrical conductivity with excellent spring and plating properties.
