Phosphor bronze, or tin bronze, is a bronze alloy that contains a mixture of copper, tin and phosphorous.
Qualities of Phosphor Bronze Alloys
Phosphor bronze alloys are primarily used for electrical products because they have superb spring qualities, high fatigue resistance, excellent formability, and high corrosion resistance. The addition of tin increases the corrosion resistance and strength of the alloy. The phosphor increases the wear resistance and stiffness of the alloy.
Phosphor bronze C544 is one of the finest bearing alloys the industry has to offer. Phosphor bronze is available in sheet, strip, plate, wire, rod and bar.
Other Applications
Other uses include corrosion resistant bellows, diaphragms, spring washers, bushings, bearings, shafts, gears, thrust washers, and valve parts.

The most common shapes are round bar (also called rod), rectangular bar (including square bar, the special case of equal sides), and hexagonal bar (usually called hex bar for short). Tube and pipe are similar, but have hollow centers and are traditionally not called "bar" in industrial usage. (However, a product called hollow bar, essentially tube but with custom-orderable OD and ID and thus custom wall thickness, is marketed for lathe bar work which can benefit from obviation of drilling and rough boring.) Also similar in concept, but not called "bar", are the common structural shapes such as angle stock and channel stock. These are commonly available in steel and aluminum; the names "angle iron" and "channel iron" are still commonly used (informally) even though their literal namesake, wrought iron, has been replaced by steel and aluminum for most uses.
