Continuous cast and drawn

Phosphor bronze C52100 contains copper, tin, and phosphorus. Phosphorus increases the wear resistance and stiffness of the alloy. Tin increases the corrosion resistance and strength of the alloy. Lead, zinc, and iron are other named elements. Phosphor bronze alloys are notable for their toughness, strength, good conductivity, and low coefficient of friction.

C521 also designated as as CuSn8P, UE9P, CW451K, PB104, BS2B24, and DTD265A.

In addition to C52100, Wieland Concast offers phosphor bronze alloys C51000, C53400, and C54400. Wieland Concast is the only domestic producer of phosphor bronze.
