Description

Silicon bronze bolts are a copper-based alloy that are easy to form, pour, weld, join, solder, and cast. They have good corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and formability. They are also non-magnetic, have good thermal and electrical conductivity, and are stronger than brass fasteners. Silicon bronze bolts are used in: Marine environments Corrosive environments High heat environments Plumbing and electrical applications Tattoo machines Power plants Silicon bronze bolts are relatively soft, which may require special installation and handling procedures. Silicon bronze bolts have the following properties: Corrosion resistance High tensile strength Formability Non-magnetic Good thermal and electrical conductivity Stronger than brass fasteners When choosing a fastener material, you can consider factors such as: Cost, Strength, Brittleness.
