Phosphor Bronze
Phosphor bronze which is an alloy of copper, tin and
phosphorous. The alloy offers high corrosion resistance and is a
versatile material used in numerous applications. The
introduction of tin results in a significant increase in the
strength and corrosion resistance of the alloy. The inclusion of
phosphorous (typically up to 0.35%) increases the stiffness and
wear resistance of the alloy. It acts as a deoxidant which
improves fluidity and therefore the castability of the material.
Whilst the alloy is well known for high corrosion resistance and
good wear resistance characteristics, phosphor bronze also
offers good thermal and electrical conductivity. Our body needs
base metals like copper, Zinc, Tin etc. for better health. In
Ayurveda also many metal powder (bhasma) is prescribed to
cure many diseases.
The health benefits of copper include proper growth of the
body, efficient utilization of iron, proper enzymatic reactions, as
well as improved health of connective tissues, hair, and eyes. It
is also integral for preventing premature aging and increasing
energy production. Apart from these, regulated heart rhythm,
balanced thyroid glands, reduced symptoms of arthritis, quick
wound healing, increased red blood cell formation, and
reduced cholesterol are other health benefits of copper.
The health benefits of copper are crucial for an overall healthy
existence, as this mineral enables normal metabolic process in
association with amino acids and vitamins. It cannot be
produced within the body and therefore needs to be added
from external food sources. It is the third most prevalent
mineral in the body and it is mostly carried by the blood plasma
protein, Ceruloplasmin.
