Phosphor Bronze UNS-C52100

CuSn8 - UNS.C52100 Phosphor Bronze Alloys, which is an 8% tin bronze distinguished by a very good combination of strength and electrical conductivity. It is used for connectors and current-carrying springs in contacts. Among the 4-8% tin bronze C52100 exhibits the lowest electrical conductivity, and the highest reachable strength is significantly higher than C51100 C51000 and C51900. By means of additional tempering after the cold-forming process, the bendability can be further improved.
In addition, it has better corrosion resistance and good sliding properties. C52100 is used for springy components and sliding elements when increased strength and wear resistance are required.
