Custom Silicon Bronze Copper Cast Pipe Fittings
Features of Custom Silicon Bronze Copper Cast Pipe Fittings
- A special class of bronze with silicon as the main alloying
element. In addition to silicon, elements such as manganese,
nickel, and zinc are also added. Silicon bronze has good mechanical
properties, good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, good
weldability, easy to process, non-magnetic, does not produce sparks
when impacted, and does not lose the original characteristics of
the material at low temperatures, often used as liquid gas and
gasoline reservoirs , elastic elements and wear-resistant parts,
etc.
- In addition to silicon, industrially used silicon bronze also
contains a small amount of manganese, nickel, zinc or other
elements. Silicon has a limited solid solution in copper, and the
maximum solubility can reach 5.3% at 852 ° C, and it decreases with
the decrease of temperature, but the aging hardening effect is not
strong, and generally no strengthening heat treatment is performed.
The silicon content of deformed silicon bronze is 1% to 4%, and the
increase of silicon will cause brittle phase and reduce plasticity.
- Silicon bronze has a small crystallization temperature range,
sufficient fluidity, and higher mechanical properties than tin
bronze. It can be used as a substitute for tin bronze in the
machinery manufacturing industry.
