Notes:
Free-cutting phosphor bronze alloy (ASTM C54400) was used as a material for automotiveparts and industrial valve parts for its high strength, machinability and excellent corrosion resistance.To obtain desired mechanical strength of the alloy, the process parameters including continuouscasting speed, reduction in area and annealing temperature have to be controlled. In this study, weinvestigated the effect of annealing on the mechanical property and machinability of free-cuttingphosphor bronze alloy fabricated by continuous casting with different casting speeds of 80, 100, and120 m/min, respectively. After annealing, the tensile strength of the alloy decreased with increasingannealing time owing to the occurrence of recrystallization and grain growth. In the cast and swagedalloy produced at casting speed of 120 m/min, the grain growth occurred rapidly. In contrast, in thealloy produced at the casting speed of 80 m/min, the grains growth rate was low. Furthermore, theeffect of Pb particle in the alloy on machinability was also investigated by using a tool dynamometerinstalled force sensor
