Product Detail1

Shanghai Metal Corporation is a leading bronze sheet/plate manufacturer and supplier.

Bronze sheet/plate is a flat-rolled copper alloy product with tin as the primary alloying element. It is widely applied in marine engineering, chemical processing, electrical manufacturing, and architectural decoration. This material effectively solves problems of seawater corrosion, mechanical wear, and electrical conductivity. For example, it is used to fabricate ship propellers, valve parts, bearing bushes, and electrical spring contacts. With high fatigue resistance and thermal conductivity, bronze plates extend the service life of equipment operating in harsh environments.

1. Material Composition: Copper (Cu) base metal with Tin (Sn) as primary alloying element. Trace elements (P, Al, Mn, Si) can be added on request.

2. Product Structure: Solid flat sheet/plate, uniform thickness (0.1–50 mm), dense single-phase or dual-phase metallic microstructure.

3. Role of Components: Copper matrix provides electrical and thermal conductivity; dissolved tin and trace elements enhance strength, hardness, wear, and seawater corrosion resistance.

4. Structural Differences: By alloy — Phosphor Bronze (high elasticity), Aluminum Bronze (high corrosion/high strength), Silicon Bronze (good weldability); by temper — Soft (O), Half-Hard (H02), Hard (H04).

5. Application Scenarios: Phosphor bronze for spring contacts and wear bearings; aluminum bronze for propellers and desalination pipes; silicon bronze for chemical containers and corrosion-resistant structures.

1. Superior Corrosion Resistance: Resists seawater, acids, and industrial chemicals, extending equipment life and cutting maintenance costs.

2. High Wear Resistance: Tin-rich matrix with low friction and high surface hardness minimizes wear under high load and friction, ensuring reliability.

3. Excellent Electrical & Thermal Conductivity: Efficient heat dissipation and stable current transfer improve energy efficiency and prevent overheating.

4. Good Machinability & Formability: Easily cut, punched, welded, and cold-worked without cracking, accelerating production and cutting costs.

5. High Fatigue Strength: Resists cracking and fatigue under cyclic loading and vibration, ensuring integrity in springs, bushings, and bearings.

6. Non-Sparking & Non-Magnetic: Non-magnetic, no sparks on impact or friction, enhancing safety in hazardous areas and compatibility with sensitive electronics..

1. Marine Engineering: Ship propellers and seawater pump bodies; aluminum bronze (10–50 mm) resists corrosion and cavitation.

2. Electrical & Electronics: Relay contacts and connectors; phosphor bronze (0.1–2 mm, hard) offers elasticity and conductivity.

3. Heavy Machinery: Bearing bushes and worm gears; tin bronze (5–20 mm) provides low friction and high load capacity.

4. Chemical Processing: Reactor liners and acid-resistant flanges; silicon bronze (3–15 mm) resists chemicals with good weldability.
