Farmer’s Copper Ltd. inventories a large amount of Silicon Bronze C65500 in plate, sheet, rod, pipe, and fittings. Its high-strength, corrosion resistance, and resilience and formability make silicon bronze among the most widely used copper alloys. Copper alloy 655 is corrosion resistant against most acids, alkalies, salts and organic chemicals. In addition, C655 is excellent hot and cold workability, along with weldability make this alloy superior for the sculpture and architectural industry.
