Bronze wire is a wire cooled predominantly by conduction to the ends. A negative slope means that as the wire heats, the cooling of the center section becomes poorer, leading to greater temperature rise. A good alternative, bronze wire material, is a relatively low resistivity alloy with a monotonically rising thermal conductivity, such as phosphor-bronze wire.
Bronze Wire Product Selection
C510 Phosphor Bronze alloy possesses a higher yield strength than is readily available in most cast products. Typical applications for phosphor bronze include bearings, bushings, gears, pinions, shafts, thrust washers, and valve parts. C51000 Phosphor bronze can be readily brazed or soldered. The capacity for being cold worked is good.
