Sal****er, and for use as a grounding plate for an SSB radio.

Be careful here. Bronze may not be the best choice. Please keep in mind
dissimilar metals that could cause electrolysis. Bronze all by itself may live quite happily for hundreds of years by itself, but with other metal objects could cause serious corrosion to itself and other objects attached to the boat. So, what else is attched to the boat and underwater? Steve "William Longyard" wrote in message m... Sal****er, and for use as a grounding plate for an SSB radio. Bill L. "Marty" wrote in message ...

What use, mechanical load, vibration, stress, compression, tension, torsion...etc? I think the only real issue is corrosion resistance. As for strength some bronze is stronger than mild steel. As much as 100 000 PSI, if I recall correctly v. 30 000 for cheap steel. Don't you usually just buy what is available? Trust them to use something suitable? I would bet the stainless used for props is much stronger than coathanger steel. They do make guns from stainless, and and the stuff used is as strong as the chrome moly used forever. Stronger than the bronze used for props if you go by the thinner sections used. I think just about anything will be OK but I don't know for sure. Get US made stuff, I wouldn't trust Chinese products.

I can't agree with you.
Many American companies deal in Chinese products for years and gain many profit.If they won't sell bronze fasteners from Yushung in China,they will be difficult to find similar another supplier of bronze fasteners. |
