Do NOT use for fastening galvanised iron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBronze is definitely one of the noblest metals on a boat, excelling in strength and corrosion resistance. It also has the advantages of being generally non-magnetic so it won't deviate your compass. Those working near inflammable gas will also appreciate that bronze tools are non-sparking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has been known since 3000 BC, making it the first alloy to be used by humans.

Commonly it is a blend of mainly copper with about 12% tin but other metals such as aluminium, zinc, nickel and manganese are often used, as are non-metals such as silicon, arsenic and phosphorus. Each alloy has its own characteristics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSilicon Bronze is a red coloured bronze with great corrosion resistance and high strength which is often used for screws and bolt fastenings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you have bronze fittings, fixings or equipment on your boat then you can rest assured that it will be strong and resilient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease don’t muddle it with brass which is next to useless at sea!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Davey","offers":[{"title":"4 mm x 50mm","offer_id":35224183701662,"sku":"FIX-MS-SB-06-50","price":0.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 mm x 100mm","offer_id":35224183668894,"sku":"FIX-MS-SB-05-50","price":0.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/8951\/7214\/products\/BronzeMachineScrew.jpg?v=1728661676","url":"https:\/\/arthurbeale.co.uk\/products\/silicon-bronze-machine-screws","provider":"Arthur Beale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
