ERCuSn-A Phosphor Bronze Wire for Robust Shipbuilding Repairs

Our ERCuSn-A phosphor bronze Welding Wire is a rock-solid choice for shipbuilding repairs and corrosion-resistant bronze applications. With around 5% tin in a copper base, this wire delivers strong, durable welds that stand up to harsh marine environments. Designed for TIG and MIG welding, it offers a smooth arc, minimal spatter, and clean bead appearance. It’s perfect for joining bronze, brass, or copper components and repairing worn parts like propellers or fittings. This wire is built to keep ships sailing strong with welds that resist corrosion and wear.

We’ve crafted our ERCuSn-A wire to tackle tough marine repairs. The 5% tin content boosts weld strength and corrosion resistance, with tensile strength around 45,000-55,000 psi, making it ideal for shipbuilding. It’s especially good in salty, wet conditions, protecting welds from seawater corrosion. The wire’s smooth flow ensures precise, clean welds, whether you’re fixing a propeller or joining bronze fittings. It’s versatile enough for both manual and automated welding, delivering reliable results for critical marine components.

Industry Analysis

The copper-based welding wire market is cruising along, expected to hit USD 4.5 billion by 2030 with a 5.5% CAGR. Shipbuilding and marine industries are key drivers, demanding materials that resist corrosion and wear in harsh saltwater environments. Phosphor bronze wires like ERCuSn-A are in high demand for their durability and ability to meet strict marine standards. With global shipbuilding growing—especially for offshore vessels and renewable energy platforms like tidal systems—the need for reliable, corrosion-resistant welding solutions is stronger than ever.

Applications in Shipbuilding

Our ERCuSn-A wire is a go-to for shipbuilding repairs, from propeller shafts to hull fittings and seawater piping. Its corrosion resistance makes it perfect for bronze components exposed to saltwater, ensuring long-lasting welds. It’s also great for joining brass or copper alloys and repairing worn parts like pumps or valves in marine environments. Beyond ships, it’s used in coastal infrastructure and marine renewable energy systems, where durability and resistance to corrosion are critical.
