Phosphor Bronze

Phosphor Bronze, a nickel-copper alloy, is composed of copper, tin, and phosphorous. This alloy, part of the electronic grade family, becomes stronger and can resist corrosion more when tin is added to the composition; on the other hand, when phosphorous is added the pairing becomes stiffer. The physical properties of phosphor bronze include effective formability, solderability, corrosion resistance, spring ability, and strength in general. This copper based alloy possesses an extreme freezing range, sufficient electrical conductivity, and low thermal conductivity.  This nickel copper alloy is used in electrical products, springs, bolts, diaphragms, and marine components.
