Progress Report on The Causes for Porosity and Leakage in Non-Ferrous Castings (The Effects of Nickel, Zinc and Lead on the Mechanical Properties of Nickel-Tin Bronze Containing Five Percent Tin)

Abstract

Three nickel-tin bronzes containing five percent tin and varying percentages of nickel, zinc and lead were found to compare favorably with composition G in pressure tightness and fluidity. Two of the bronzes easily passed the mechanical requirements for composition G (46M6G) provided that contamination by lead was held within limiting percentages. The third alloy did not possess satisfactory mechanical properties unless special care was taken in foundry practice.
