PB2 Phosphor Bronze
Compared to PB1, PB2 phosphor bronze alloy has slightly increased tin content, giving excellent wear resistance. It offers high strength and good machining characteristics, with good corrosion resistance – especially in the environment of salt water and brine. Often referred to as ‘gear bronze’, PB2 is typically used in applications such as pump and valve components and bearings which are subject to medium to high loads and speeds.
All Kormax PB2 Phosphor Bronze is manufactured using finely controlled continuous or centrifugal casting techniques, ensuring hardness and strength is superior to sand-casting methods. This also means that the material has a fine grain structure and is free from porosity.
