Bronze for chainplates?

It seems to me that bronze would be a good material for chainplates. The tensile strength is similiar to stainless and it's not susceptible to the same type of failure through deck stainless plates are so at risk of. Is there a reason why this would not be a good idea? Are there cyclic loading problems with the metal?
