The phosphor bronze and brass are most commonly used.

Sarod strings are either made of steel or phosphor bronze.

Phosphor bronze was introduced by D'Addario in the early 1970s.

The "small-end" of each rod houses a floating phosphor bronze bush.

Phosphor bronze is particularly suited to precision-grade bearings and springs.

We were the first to introduce phosphor bronze strings back in 1974, and they're our biggest-selling acoustic set.

A half hour of work brought him down to phosphor bronze, a huge casting of the almost incorruptible metal.

This makes the phosphor bronze slightly more corrosive resistant than 80/20 bronze.

Bronze is mostly copper (12% tin), while addition of phosphorus gives phosphor bronze.

This has a spigot bearing the same size as the Range Rover but made of steel and not phosphor bronze.

When assessed in strictly metallurgical terms it is not true phosphor bronze, but a form of iron-modified tin brass.

The traditional wire materials are used, however iron has been replaced by steel and the modern phosphor bronze has been added to the list.

However, a majority of the drives and gears commonly used are composed of steel and phosphor bronze.

Phosphor bronze is considered a self-lubricating material that makes it ideal for grease free applications e.g. vacuum.

Examples of alloys are solder, brass, pewter, phosphor bronze and amalgam.

Phosphorus is also an important component in steel production, in the making of phosphor bronze, and in many other related products.

Phosphor bronze wire of about 30 gauge was commonly used because it had the optimal amount of springiness.

Phosphor bronze strings are the longest-lasting of them all, because the phosphor makes it a very strong alloy.

Around 2001, the Olin Corporation developed another phosphor bronze alloy comprising:

Copper phosphide has a role in copper alloys, namely in phosphor bronze.

In addition to being more robust, phosphor bronze gives musical instruments tonal qualities which are slightly different to those made from the usual brass alloys.
