What factors are related to the hardness and strength of bronze solid bars
1. Alloy composition :
Tin content: Within a certain range, the hardness and strength of bronze usually increase as the tin content increases.
Aluminum content: When the aluminum content in aluminum bronze increases within a certain level, the strength and hardness of the alloy will increase, and it also has excellent corrosion resistance.
Other elements: The addition of lead can improve the anti-friction property of tin bronze; phosphorus can improve the wear resistance of the alloy. Adding a small amount of phosphorus to tin bronze can help improve the elastic limit and fatigue limit; the addition of elements such as nickel and manganese can also improve certain properties of bronze. For example, manganese can refine the grains and improve the mechanical properties.
2. Processing technology:
Casting process: Different casting methods (such as sand casting, metal mold casting, centrifugal casting, etc.) and casting parameters (pouring temperature, cooling rate, etc.) will affect the structure and properties of bronze solid bars.
Plastic processing: Through plastic processing methods such as extrusion, rolling, and stretching, the internal structure of bronze can be made denser and more uniform, thereby improving hardness and strength.
Heat treatment: Appropriate heat treatment process (such as solution treatment, aging treatment, etc.) can change the organizational structure of bronze, causing changes in its hardness and strength.
3. Microstructure:
Grain size: The finer the grains, the more grain boundaries there are, and the higher the hardness and strength of the material. Methods for refining grains include controlling casting process parameters, adding elements that refine grains, etc.
Phase composition: Different phases in bronze (such as solid solution phase, intermetallic compound phase, etc.) and their content and distribution have an important influence on hardness and strength.
Impurity Content: The presence of impurity elements may adversely affect the hardness and strength of bronze.
