Introduction
UNS C51000 phosphor bronze copper alloy has an excellent combination of ductility and
strength and possess good spring qualities.
A few other bronze copper alloys excluding the phosphor bronze copper alloy include:
Tin bronze
Aluminum bronze
Silicon bronze
Architectural bronze
Manganese bronze
The addition of phosphor in bronze alloys results in increased wear resistance, fatigue
resistance and hardness, thus allowing the usage of the phosphor bronze alloys in shafts,
fasteners, valve spindles, masonry fixings, bearings, springs and gears.
The datasheet given below provides an overview of UNS C51000 phosphor bronze copper
alloy.
