Copper-based alloys with alloying additives (such as tin, aluminum, iron and some other metals) are called bronzes. Marking bronzes denoted by the letters which mean major alloying elements, and numbers that indicate their contents.
By the use of bronze divided into wrought and cast alloys. The chemical composition of GOST marks defined:
- Casting. Tin GOST 613, GOST 493 Tinless.
- Wrought. Tin in ISO 5017, GOST 18175 Tinless.
For example, a Bronze sheet BrH0,8T belongs to a class without tin, handled the pressure, heat-resistant low alloyed bronze. It has low resistivity. The main alloying element in the alloy chromium. Also, the high thermal conductivity of this alloy. Used bronze sheet BrH0,8T often for the manufacture of parts in various industries. BrH0,8T bronze sheet is discharged in the form of semi-finished flat rectangular cross section of uniform thickness greater than 0.1 mm, a width of 10 mm (for lanes) and up to 2500 mm long by 500 mm to 6000 mm.
Sheet Bronze other brands can be used in the manufacture of various types of labels, signs, signage, a comfortable material with engraving. The high level of resistance to atmospheric agents, allows the use of bronze to create monuments of art for home decoration, etc. Bronze used in the fields of automotive, shipbuilding, aerospace, manufacturing cars and even missiles. The good electrical conductivity allows the use of bronze for the manufacture of electrical components, parts of welding machines.
