Phosphor copper is widely used in the non-ferrous metal industry

 The Phosphorus Copper alloys are extensively used to join copper and copper alloy base metals (brass, bronzes). Phos-Copper is extensively used in Non-Ferrous Industry.They have self-fluxing properties when used on copper and may or may not contain Silver.Continuous service operating temperatures of joints brazed with these alloys range up to approx 200℃.Corrosion resistance is satisfactory, except when the joints are exposed to sulfurous environments, especially at elevated temperatures.Phosphorous Copper alloys should not be used on ferrous, nickel based alloys, or copper-nickel alloys with more of 10% nickel, in order to avoid premature failure of the joint due to the formation of brittle intermetallic phases.
