Copper fasteners are highly regarded for their excellent mechanical properties, such as great strength, good elasticity, and outstanding corrosion resistance. In addition to these, Copper Fasteners possess excellent tensile strength and fatigue resistance. Moreover, when it comes to the creeping behavior of metals at elevated temperatures, copper fasteners are practically exclusive in the crowd. Therefore they will be able to handle much higher torque loads without losing strength and durability at the same time. The main reason why many people choose copper fasteners is that they are highly resistant to corrosion. It has very high electrical conductivity is another factor contributing to the recognition of copper fasteners as highly efficient conductors of electricity. Besides, copper fasteners are also known for their high strength, durability, and recyclability, For example, copper fasteners are found in construction, electronics, plumbing, telecommunications and automotive sectors. As far as construction is concerned, copper fasteners may be also encountered in heavy steel structural elements, roofs and cladding systems, which all require very high strength and resistance to corrosion.

Silicon bronze is a copper alloy containing about 96% copper and 3% silicon with very small amounts of other elements such as manganese, tin and zinc. The material manages to combine the corrosion resistance of copper with enhanced strength and durability. Because of its copper content and the minimal lead presence, silicon bronze is often referred to as a "low-lead brass alloy". Silicon Bronze Fasteners offers a mixture of mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, good thermal, and electrical conductivity besides. The density of silicon bronze is 8.53 g/cm3 (0.308 lb/in3), and alloys of this class are able to benefit from both cold and hot working, as well as annealing for stress relief (they are primarily strengthened by cold work). It is easily welded, joined, soldered and cast, and is generally one of the easiest copper-based materials to form/pour. Also, it features good corrosion resistance, strength, and formability, and is considered to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing copper alloys. If you are in search of tough and reliable screws, bolts and nuts that are many times more durable than ordinary carbon steel hardware and at locations such as New Zealand, Jordan, USA, Brazil etc., you should think of Vision Alloys which is a market-leading company in this area.
