Phosphor Bronze:  In electronic, electrical and automotive precision components, cost-effective phosphor bronze is often the alloy of choice because of its inherent resistance to stress relaxation, which is defined by the ASTM as "the time dependent decrease in stress in a solid under given constant constraints." That means that connectors stamped out of phosphor bronze exhibit superior performance over time.

When produced to The Miller Company’s exacting quality standards, phosphor bronze has consistent mechanical properties with minimal variability, optimum yield strengths, and excellent formability.

Miller material provides consistency within lot and lot-to-lot, ensuring a high degree of repeatability when formed and processed in high-speed press and assembly lines. In regard to precision thickness and width over the entire length of the coil, no customer in the world is as demanding as we are on ourselves.

Sample Applications:

  • Electronic:  computers, telecommunications (connectors, terminals)
  • Electrical:  switch parts, terminals, fuse clips
  • Hardware:  bellows, diaphragms, fasteners, sleeve bushings, blades

Nickel Silver:  Nickel silver alloys offer impressive strength, stress relaxation resistance, solderability, and shelf life.  They are also extremely resistant to corrosion and will not easily tarnish. Nickel silver alloys from The Miller Company are produced according to the same quality standards as our phosphor bronze.  As a result, you can depend on consistent, reliable performance over time.

Sample Applications:Large rolls of Silver

  • Electronic:  computers, telecommunications (connectors)
  • Hardware:  springs
  • Optical Goods:  camera parts and eyeglass frames
  • Musical Instruments
  • Tokens and coinage

Leaded Nickel Silver:  An alloy used primarily for the production of key blanks and musical instrument parts, leaded nickel silver provides good strength characteristics, resistance to tarnishing, and excellent machinability.  Leaded nickel silver alloys not only wear well but look good.  Their appealing colors adds the aesthetic appeal of quality and substance to the products in which they are used.  The Miller Company has developed a process and formulation for leaded nickel silver that  results in a very consistent product, which in turn means a high yield for stamping and forming operations.

Sample Applications:

  • Hardware:  key blanks, lock hardware, watch plates, watch parts
  • Musical Instrument parts

Reliability

The Quality of Your Products is Reliant on the Quality of Our Products.
The initial stages of the production cycle will ultimately enable successful fabrication of our customers' products. These coils at cast gauge receive further processing only after passing several tests for strictly defined chemistry and structural integrity.
