Choosing the Right Bronze Grade
Phosphor bronzes are copper-tin alloys prized for their balance of strength, formability, and moderate thermal-relaxation resistance (up to approx. 100°C service temperature). Wieland’s SUPRALLOY® fine-grain versions of B14 (CuSn4), B16 (CuSn6), and B18 (CuSn8) share the same UNS numbers as the standard bronzes but have a finegrain microstructure, giving it a higher strength at comparable formability, plus significantly higher fatigue and vibration resistance.
