Bronze Sheet

Bronze sheets are sheets of bronze, an alloy of copper and other metals. They are malleable, ductile, and corrosion resistant, and have a rich bronze color. Bronze sheets are used in a variety of applications, including decorative panels, signage, and furniture.

Material Properties

Corrosion resistance: Bronze is resistant to corrosion, especially in seawater and saltwater environments. This is due to a protective oxide layer formed by the addition of tin and phosphorus.
Ductility: Bronze is ductile, meaning it can be deformed without breaking. This allows it to be shaped into complex shapes and delicate structures.
Strength: Bronze is strong and resistant to deformation and fracture. This makes it ideal for applications that require strong and durable components, such as gears and tools.
Fatigue resistance: Bronze is resistant to fatigue, meaning it can withstand repeated stress and strain without failing.
Low friction: Bronze has a low coefficient of friction, which reduces wear and tear on moving parts.
Thermal and electrical conductivity:Bronze has good thermal and electrical conductivity, making it useful for heat transfer and electrical projects.
