Easy-to-Weld 655 Bronze
- Yield Strength: 43,000 psi
- Hardness:
1/4" to 3/8" dia. rods: Not Rated
All other sizes: Rockwell B75 (Medium) - Temper: H04 (Full Hard)
- Heat Treatable: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM B98
Commonly called silicon-bronze, 655 bronze contains more silicon than other bronze alloys, making it suitable for all types of welding. With excellent formability and corrosion resistance, it's often used to make parts for marine applications, as well as in pumps and boilers.

Casting Metals
Melt and pour these alloys into molds to create metal parts and prototypes.
Silicon-bronze alloy is often used to cast gears, propellers, bells, and plaques. It renders an excellent surface finish.
