With a pleasant color and ability to accept a range of patinas, combined with a good fluidity, low drossing, and reasonable solidification range, Silicon Bronze (C873) is widely used for industrial applications. Silicon Bronze, meeting high military standards such as ASTM B584 (formerly ASTM B198-12A), has good brazing, welding, and a machinability of 40, allowing balanced mechanical properties and quality corrosion resistance.
