[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1292649"] Bismuth bronze From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bismuth bronze or "Bismuth brass" is a copper alloy which typically contains 1-3% bismuth by weight, although some alloys contain over 6% Bi. This bronze alloy is very corrosion-resistant, a property which makes it suitable for use in environments such as the ocean. Bismuth bronzes and brasses are more malleable, thermally conductive, and polish better than regular brasses. The most common industrial application of these metals are as bearings, however the material has been in use since the late nineteenth century as kitchenware and mirrors. Bismuth bronze was also found in ceremonial Inca knives at Machu Picchu.[1] Recently, pressure for the substitution of hazardous metals has increased and with it bismuth bronze is being marketed as a green alternative to leaded bronze bearings and bushings. This material looks very interesting. Upping the percentage of bismouth to increase density. Bismouth by itself is 86% density of lead. Not bad. Bismouth is not that expensive. [/QUOTE]
