Performance characteristics and industrial applications of phosphorus-deoxidized copper and aluminum bronze

Phosphorus-deoxidized copper rods (TP1, TP2) are copper materials that are deoxidized by adding phosphorus elements, of which TP1 contains 0.004-0.012% phosphorus, and TP2 contains 0.015-0.040% phosphorus. Although the addition of phosphorus slightly reduces the conductivity (85-90% IACS), it significantly improves the welding performance and hydrogen embrittlement resistance of the material, and the corrosion resistance is also better than pure copper. The tensile strength of this type of copper rod is between 220-280MPa, and it has good plastic deformation ability (elongation ≥30%). In industrial applications, phosphorus-deoxidized copper is widely used in pipeline systems (water supply, gas pipeline fittings), refrigeration industry pipelines, and components that require high-frequency welding. Its excellent welding performance makes it outstanding on occasions that require complex connections, while its moderate cost ensures its economical practicality. Aluminum bronze (such ...
