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.
