Conclusions
-
1.
Microalloying with phosphorus (0.02–0.10%) increases the tendency of beryllium bronze B2 to discontinuous decomposition. The maximum rate of discontinuous decomposition is reached with 0.05% P.
-
2.
Discontinuous decomposition in quenched bronze B2, including the bronze microalloyed with phosphorus, occurs in a narrow range of aging temperatures (300–380°). The lower the quenching temperature and the greater the heterogeneity, the greater the degree of discontinuous decomposition during subsequent aging.
-
3.
Microalloying with phosphorus and thermomechanical treatment under the conditions developed lower the electrical resistivity of beryllium bronze by 30–40% with retention of a high elastic limit (70–75 kg/mm2).
