PB2 (Phosphor Bronze) | BS1400 PB2 Bronze Alloy Castings

Conex Metals is a trusted manufacturer and global exporter of PB2 Phosphor Bronze Alloy Castings produced to the British Standard BS1400: PB2. With decades of metallurgical expertise and modern manufacturing facilities, we deliver precision-engineered PB2 bronze components for a wide range of high-performance applications. PB2 Phosphor Bronze is a high-strength bronze alloy with a higher tin and phosphorus content than PB1, making it ideal for heavy-duty bearings, bushings, and wear-resistant parts operating under severe conditions of high load and high speed. It also provides excellent corrosion resistance in marine and industrial environments. PB2’s superior fatigue strength and outstanding mechanical properties make it an excellent material choice for engineering, mining, marine, oil & gas, and transportation industries worldwide.
