Report on Part 1 - Effects of Tin and Lead on Manganese Bronze Part 2 - Dezincification of Manganese Bronze

Abstract

The effect of lead and other elements on manganese bronze has been studied in detail, especially in regard to the changes in mechanical properties and resistance to dezincification that may result from furnace charges of contaminated scrap metal. There appears to be little tendency for lead segregation in a well made manganese bronze. More lead may be permitted if the copper-zinc ratio and the tin content are carefully controlled. Tin appears to be one of the best inhibitors of dezincification. Silver, phosphorous, arsenic, and lead are in general effective to a certain extent. Antimony not only decreases ductility seriously but also tends to increase the dezincification.
