| Material | Phosphor Bronze - copper 92%, tin 6% |
| Standard | ASTM B103 |
| Grade | C51900 (CuSn6) |
| Main properties and application | Phosphor bronze is wear-resistant, well processed, well soldered, highly thermally conductive; one of the distinctive operational properties of bronze and brass is that sparks are not created upon impact and friction of a solid sieved against copper alloys, therefore a bronze wire cloth is used in flammable and explosive environments, when sifting materials in cases where it is necessary to avoid sparking |
| Operating temperature | melting point about 995°C; annealing temperature 600÷650°C; the alloy retains ductility and does not become brittle when cooled down to helium temperatures |
| Grade analogue | Phosphor bronze 6% Grade A; CDA 519; C519; CW452K; PB103 |
| Density | 8.7 g/cm3 |
| Corrosion resistance | Phosphor bronze is resistant to corrosion in air, in fresh water, in dry halogen gases, in dry steam, in antifreezes, alcohols, freons; relatively stable in alkalis; unstable in wet saturated steam, mine water, oxidizing solutions, chlorides, mineral acids, hydrogen sulfide, fatty acids, environments containing sulfur dioxide or ammonia; bronze wire cloth should not be used in contact with iron, aluminum and zinc due to contact corrosion, leading to its rapid destruction |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤ 0.1 |
| Phosphorus (P) | 0.03 ÷ 0.35 |
| Copper (Cu) | balance, approx. 92% |
| Tin (Sn) | 5.0-7.0 |
| Lead (Pb) | ≤ 0,05 |
| Zinc (Zn) | ≤ 0,3 |
