Properties of phosphor bronze wire
Phosphor bronze wire has numerous properties that make it ideal for your next wire project. Some of its main features include:
Composition
Phosphor bronze wire is a copper alloy wire that is composed of copper, tin, and phosphorus. The blend of these three metals makes it ideal for outdoor projects, as the tin increases its resistance to corrosion, while the phosphor increases its resistance to wear. In some cases the tin (Sn) and copper (Cu) balance may be adjusted based on strength and versatility requirements, and the level of copper and tin varies depending on the grade of the wire.
Resistant to Corrosion and Oxidation
The key to the corrosion resistance of bronze wire lies in the tin used to make the alloy. The tin coating of this wire helps to protect against corrosion and oxidation.
This makes it an ideal solution for your outdoor and water based projects, such as marine work, where your wire will frequently come into contact with moisture.
Conductivity
Phosphor bronze wire has good electrical conductivity, and, due to it's combination of electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and resistance to corrosion, it is widely used in electrical projects such as connectors.
Common applications of phosphor bronze wire
Bronze wire has a wide range of uses due to its versatile properties and we've supplied wire to various industries. Some of the most common applications for bronze wire include:
Musical Instruments
Due to its acoustic properties and durability, bronze wire is widely used in musical instruments, particularly for the strings of instruments such as guitars and pianos.
Bronze wire will also add great aesthetic appeal due to its colour and shine, making it the ideal choice for musical instruments.
Electrical Applications
Phosphor bronze wire is commonly used in electrical applications due to its electrical and thermal conductivity, along with its excellent corrosion resistance. The unique features of bronze wire make it a great option for electrical connectors and contacts, offering conductivity and longevity that you can depend on.
Springs
Bronze wire is also frequently used in springs due to its high elasticity and tensile strength. These springs are typically found in both switches and mechanical components. Precision springs made from bronze wire are also used in high-stress environments such as the motor and aerospace industries.
