White Bronze Metal Powder 20% Zn / 27% Sn

Description

White Bronze Metal Powder is a precision-engineered copper-based alloy powder composed of 20% zinc (Zn), 27% tin (Sn), and balance copper (Cu). This formulation is designed to deliver a balanced combination of mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic metallic properties typical of white bronze-type alloys.

Produced in an ultra-fine –325 mesh particle size, the powder offers excellent flowability, uniform particle distribution, and high surface area, making it suitable for advanced metallurgical applications and materials research.

This alloy powder is commonly used in powder metallurgy, surface engineering, coating development, and experimental alloy formulation, where controlled composition and fine particle size are essential.
