Compatible Material Grades: T1, T2, C10100-C11000 series, C17200 Beryllium Copper, C26000 Brass, C70600 Copper-Nickel, and 40+ other copper alloys.

High-Stress Mechanical Components: Ideal for wear plates, bushings, bearings, gears, and valve components in industrial machinery due to excellent fatigue resistance and low friction.
Electrical & Welding Connectors: Used in heavy-duty electrical connectors, switchgear parts, and resistance welding tips where strength and good conductivity are paramount.
Marine & Chemical Hardware: Excellent for pump parts, fittings, fasteners, and atomizing devices exposed to seawater, steam, and corrosive chemicals.
Architectural & Decorative Elements: The polished, natural copper color makes it suitable for high-end decorative fixtures, sculpture, and architectural detailing with functional durability.
Optimized Alloy Composition: C54400 phosphor bronze provides an outstanding balance of high tensile strength, excellent anti-galling properties, and good corrosion resistance—surpassing the capabilities of pure copper and many brass alloys.
Superior Machinability & Finish: The lead content significantly improves machinability, allowing for high-speed production of precision parts. The material accepts a superb polished or plated finish.
Reliability in Demanding Service: Maintains mechanical properties under load and resists wear from friction, making it reliable for continuous operation in automotive, marine, and heavy industrial applications.
Full-Service Fabrication Support: We provide the material ready-to-use or offer value-added processing including precise cutting, bending, and welding services to deliver components that meet your exact specifications.

A1: C54400 is a leaded phosphor bronze, a copper alloy containing tin, lead, and phosphorus. It is significantly stronger, more wear-resistant, and offers better machinability than pure copper (C11000), though with slightly lower electrical conductivity. It is chosen for mechanical rather than purely conductive applications.
A2: Yes, phosphor bronze alloys like C54400 exhibit very good resistance to corrosion by seawater and steam, making them a standard choice for marine hardware, pump components, and shipbuilding fittings.
A3: Yes, we offer professional welding services. C54400 can be welded using gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW/TIG) and resistance welding methods. We recommend consulting with our technical team for specific welding procedure specifications for your application.
A4: We supply C54400 in a full range from Soft (Annealed) to Full Hard. For complex bending or machining, choose Soft or 1/4 Hard. For applications requiring high strength and minimal deflection, such as bushings or bearings, choose 1/2 Hard or Full Hard.
A5: We use export-standard packaging—typically rods are bundled and secured in wooden crates or boxes—to ensure they arrive damage-free via sea, air, or land freight to destinations worldwide.
A6: Yes, we provide Mill Test Certificates (MTC) compliant with ASTM or other specified standards, certifying the chemical composition and mechanical properties of the material supplied.
