Further Experiments in Annealing Low Tin Bronze

Author(s): David Dungworth

This report provides further data on the annealing behaviour of low tin bronze. Samples of 1.7% tin bronze were cold worked and subsequently annealed for 1 to 60 minutes, at temperatures from 400°C to 700°C. The hardness of the annealed bronze was successfully matched to a sigmoidal function which included terms for time and temperature. Temperature has a stronger effect on annealing than time, and increasing tin content appears to decrease the time or temperature required to anneal a bronze.
