Dimensional standards as per DIN 913,DIN 914,DIN 915,DIN 916,DIN 551,DIN 553,DIN 438,BS 4190 are provided.
The raw material of these fasteners is classified as Non-Ferrous Alloys. Being a PED certified Fasteners Manufacturer by TUV Rheinland,our fasteners are accompanied with EN 10204 3.1/3.2 certification. Phosphor Bronze PB1 Set Screws are available in hot forged,cold forged and bar stock machined conditions depending upon the order quantity.
Phosphor Bronze Pb1 Is A Combination Of Tin And Copper That Has Also Had Phosphorus Added To It During The Casting Process. it Is Resistant To Cold And Corrosion And Has Excellent Mechanical Strength And High Fatigue Strength. pb1 Is A Single Phase That Is Suitable For Cold Working And Its Good Corrosion Resistance To Sea Water And Brine Make It Well Suited To For Both Pump And Valve Components Good Resistance To Impact Loading And Pounding. commonly Used For Applications Such As Heavy Load Gears, Worm Wheels And Bearings That Have Medium To High Loads As Well As Speeds.
Phosphor Bronze Pb1 Set Screws — Specifications & Dimensions
Phosphor Bronze Pb1 Set screws are externally threaded fasteners typically driven into a tapped hole or self-tapped material. TorqBolt manufactures Phosphor Bronze Pb1 Set screws per ASME B18.3 (socket products), ASME B18.6.3 (machine screws), DIN 912 / 7991 / 6912, and ISO 4762 / 10642, in metric M3–M48 and imperial 0–1/2".
Drive Types
Hex socket (Allen) — ASME B18.3 / DIN 912, primary for high-torque industrial use
Phosphor Bronze Pb1 Set screws are available in cap (cylindrical), button (low-profile dome), countersunk / flat (82° or 90°), pan, fillister, truss, and shoulder configurations. Countersunk per DIN 7991 with 90° head angle is standard for metric; 82° per ASME B18.6.3 for imperial.
Thread & Length
Phosphor Bronze Pb1 Set screws use full-thread or partial-thread (length-under-head) configurations. Machine screws are typically full-thread; cap screws use partial thread for grip control. Threading per ASME B1.1 (UNC/UNF) or ISO 965 (metric coarse/fine), Class 2A or 6g default. Length-under-head is measured from the bearing surface for hex/cap, from the largest face for countersunk. Custom lengths quoted to drawing.
Specialty Screws
TorqBolt produces Phosphor Bronze Pb1 Set set screws (cup-point, cone-point, dog-point, flat-point, hex-socket DIN 913/914/915/916), shoulder screws (precision-ground shoulder for pivot applications), and self-tapping screws (Type AB, Type 25). All certified per EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 with optional NACE MR0175 sour-service compliance.
Bronze alloys are copper-based alloys with tin, aluminium, silicon, manganese, or phosphorus alloying additions, each tuned for a specific tribological or environmental envelope. Bronzes deliver excellent bearing properties, marine corrosion resistance, and non-sparking + non-magnetic characteristics — specified for marine fasteners, electrical hardware, oil + gas wellhead components, and industries where sparks must be avoided.
Phosphor bronze (Cu-Sn-P, e.g. C51000, C52400) combines high yield strength + fatigue with seawater corrosion resistance — the standard for marine + spring fasteners. Silicon bronze (Cu-Si, e.g. C65500) is the marine-grade weldable alloy popular for boat fasteners and architectural cladding. Aluminium bronze (Cu-Al, e.g. C95400/C95500/C95800) achieves yield ~310-585 MPa with outstanding seawater + cavitation resistance — the workhorse for marine pump impellers and propeller hub bolting. Gunmetal (Cu-Sn-Zn-Pb, e.g. C90500) is the historic naval bronze for valves and trim. Leaded bronze adds Pb for free-machining + bearing applications.
Bronze fasteners ship per ASTM B98 (rod/bar) and B584 (sand cast) with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certificates covering composition, hardness, and ASTM B66 ammonia stress-corrosion testing where service exposure warrants.
