    Phosphor bronze alloy 510 is commonly used for springs due to its corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. Gibbs stocks grade A phosphor bronze spring wire that is 95% copper, 4.75% tin, 0.25% phosphorus, and has a minimum tensile strength of 145,000 PSI for wire diameters of 0.025 inches and smaller, decreasing in strength for larger diameters according to ASTM-B-159 specifications. This technical bulletin provides information on the chemical composition and mechanical properties of phosphor bronze spring wire.
