The mechanical properties of wrought "Silzin-Bronze" which was invented by Dr. T. Ishikawa early in 1928, -a few years later, the similar alloy "Tombasil" Came out in germanyare fully shown. The effects of aluminium on the mechanical and chemical properties of wrought Silzin-Bronze have been investigated, and a new alloy series "SSZ" discovered. The alloys "SSZ" are strong & ductile and far better corrosion-resisting to sea water than Silzin-Bronze. Some brittleness of wrought Silzin-Bronze, caused by annealing, is shown to vanish nearly by adding aluminium.
The mechanical and corrosion-resisting properties of "SSZ" & "Silzin-Brimze" are far superior to those of P.M.G. Metal.
The authors also have studied the mechanical & chemical behaviour of some industrial copper alloys containing silicon, v.z, P.M.G. Metal, Tungum Alloy, A.R (the authors' invention), Everdur, and Herculoy. The comparison of these alloys is shown in the accompanying table.
