Silicon Bronze Fasteners: Durable Marine and Woodworking Solutions
Silicon bronze, often referred to simply as bronze, is an alloy made mostly of copper and tin with a small amount of silicon. Bronze is used primarily in marine environments. It is preferred over stainless in wooden boat construction and re-fastening due to its superior corrosion resistance, and over brass due to its higher strength.
Bronze is similar to copper in color and is also sometimes seen in fine woodworking where it is used for its appearance. The main drawback of bronze is its high cost.
Here at The Nutty Company, Inc. we stock many Silicon Bronze hardware fasteners. However, due to current economic conditions and the volatility of the Bronze market it is very difficult to maintain pricing on our website for Silicon Bronze Fasteners.
