How can you tell the difference between copper brass and bronze?

Copper Cu content is generally > 99.90%, the content is relatively pure. It has good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, excellent plasticity, but the strength and hardness are weak, easy to hot pressing and cold pressure processing. Bronze is an alloy added tin, lead or other elements to copper. It has high hardness, plasticity, wear resistance, corrosion resistance. It is used in casting various utensils, mechanical parts, bearings and so on.

Are bronze and brass stronger than copper?

Bronze and brass will add Mn, Al, Sn, Pb, Ni and other alloying elements. These elements in solid solution or in-situ reaction synthesis in the second phase exists in the form of copper matrix, by the second phase strengthening and solid solution or other processing way to improve the mechanical properties of the alloy, copper and copper content > 99.90%, the content is relatively pure, no second phase strengthening, So bronze and brass is stronger than copper.

We're here to provide you with comprehensive details tailored to your business needs.

Which is better copper or bronze?

Copper has good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, excellent plasticity, but the strength and hardness are weak, easy to hot pressing and cold pressure processing. Bronze has high hardness, plasticity, wear resistance, corrosion resistance. It is used in casting various utensils, mechanical parts, bearings and etc. The application decides which raw material is better.
