Default Silken bronze fastener?

Howdy,

I needed some 1/4" bolts for an electrical connection, and as the fastener
store was out of 2" long brass bolts, I was sold something called "silken
bronze." According to the fellow behind the counter, they are 95% copper.

Now that I have them home, I can't find any reference to "silken bronze" on
the web, and would like to know a little more about them, including at least
a torque recommdation.

Anyone know what other name these might be called which would yield some
results?

Thanks for any tips,

Jon
