Ok, well according to the info sheet I recieved, phosphor bronze contains 5% tin, suitable for wrought work apparantly.
It just says the phosphor bronze suitable for casting has a higher tin content.
Then it mentions leaded bronzes for castability,
And aluminium bronzes for strength and corrosion resistant properties, for sea valves etc.....
so probably 5% bronze would be ok, although I recall some one mentioned 8 - 10%, but could be wrong, as , like you said Jef, their metals were all over the shop.
