Abstract Scope |
The use of Brasses and Bronzes is subtly astounding, ranging from the keys in your pocket, zippers on your clothes, hinges, handle and lock mechanism of your front door, plumbing and electronic hardware, bearings, munitions and world coin currencies - arguably one of the most versatile alloy families on the planet. Using the design flexibility of the Cu-Mn-Ni-Zn-Al-Sn and extended alloy variants we demonstrate the vast range of applications/alloy solutions currently relevant to changing the Brass and Bronze industries as we know them, including the lead-free movement for free-machining and self-lubricating alloys. An integral part of this study are the effects of independent alloy additions within this system, how they effect strength/hardness through solid solution hardening and softening effects and the fine-tuning an extraordinary range of multi-phase microstructures. Here we report the most significant developments in this space over the last 5 years. |
