1. Machining: Use sharp tools to avoid adhesion.
2. Welding: Prefer TIG or brazing to prevent oxidation.
3. Surface Treatment: Nickel/chrome plating for enhanced corrosion resistance.
4. Cold Working: Annealing recommended to relieve stress.
A: Bronze contains tin/aluminum (grayish), while CuZn31Si1 is brass (yellow) with silicon.
A: Yes, but surface passivation is advised for long-term exposure.
A: Stable up to 200°C due to silicon’s creep resistance.
