Silicon bronze materials are actually brass alloy that contains a good quantity of silicon. This material has many superior corrosion-resistant properties because of the presence of silicon.
Any silicon bronze hex bolt can easily be welded, joined, soldered, and also be cast. Besides, fasteners produced from this kind of alloy will offer good resistance against corrosion and also have high tensile strength as well as formability properties. You can buy them from Fair Wind Fasteners.
Generally, silicon bronze has got a little higher density than stainless steel. Most woodworkers would prefer to use silicon bronze bolts because of their better looks. These fasteners can resist deformation because of their high tol
There are different types such as the bolts and nuts, screws, studs, threaded rods, washers and others. The Silicon Bronze Stud is used in tight spaces with no nuts to be applied on them. The stud can come with one sided threads or both sided threads as well. These fasteners are made from the 651 alloy of silicon bronze. The C65100 Alloy Fasteners exhibit high corrosion resistance due to the high copper content. The 4% silicon is responsible for the toughness and strength in these fasteners. They can be used under acidic and chloride ion conditions as well. The C65500 High Silicon Bronze Bolts come with improved toughness and less ductility.
era nce to cycle loading and also any fatigue-induced stress.
Because of a few properties of silicon bronze e.g. electrically conductive, non-magnetic, high strength, and also extremely corrosion-resistant make these bolts an excellent choice for several applications like:
- Used on boats where corrosion resistance needed from seawater
- Used in an electrical generation or various power and energy industries for their high strength, highly conductive, and corrosion resistance property
- Also, used in general construction, near the environment that is close to the seaside or any other corrosive environment
- Used in various water treatment plants, as they can resist corrosion because of chlorine or any other treatment chemicals
- For electrical grounding also it is preferred
- Used on levees, dams, and dikes, where they will not corrode and can easily be removed after years.
