We are a world-class supplier of engineering raw materials. Our objective is to provide all our customers, from the small machine shop to the large multi-national corporation, a supply path that continuously delivers the highest levels of service, quality and value.
PB1 is a continuously cast copper-based alloy containing 10-12% tin. This alloy combines high mechanical strength with good ductility, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. It also offers a good resistance to shock loading but is outperformed in this area by the wrought grades. PB1 can be soldered and brazed and finds traditional use in heavy load applications run at high speeds.
BS1400 PB1 offers high wear resistance and good resistance to impact loading. With high wear resistance and excellent corrosion resistance in marine atmospheres, the alloy is used extensively in the marine industry. BS1400 PB1 offers good resistance to brine and high mechanical strength.
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
We stock PB1 in flats, round bar, plate, sheet, round tube, hollow bar, square bar and hexagon bar.
Our knowledgeable staff and resident metallurgists will be pleased to assist you further on any technical topic. Smiths Metal Centres Limited also boasts an in-house UKAS Accredited Testing Laboratory which is unique within the multi-metal and plastic stockholding sector. We believe this underlines our total commitment to quality and our ethos of being the complete service provider.
