Lead Free Bronze

Lead free bronze is a class of lead-free copper alloys that have been developed to meet the demand for environmentally friendly materials, especially in industries where lead exposure needs to be avoided, such as water supply systems and food processing equipment. These alloys typically contain tin, aluminum, iron, silicon, and other alloying elements to provide the desired mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The physical properties of lead-free bronze, such as high strength, good casting and processability, make it ideal for applications such as pumps, valves, pipe fittings and electrical connectors. In addition, lead-free bronzes also have good corrosion resistance, especially in freshwater and seawater environments, which makes them particularly useful in Marine applications. As the global focus on reducing the use of lead continues to increase, lead-free bronze is gaining popularity due to its environmentally friendly and health-safe properties.
