Custom High conductivity C51100 phosphor copper Company, Companies

C51100 is a typical tin-phosphorus bronze with the international grade of CuSn4, and it is a high-performance elastic copper alloy. This material takes copper as the base and adds an appropriate amount of tin and phosphorus. The role of tin is mainly to enhance strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, while phosphorus is mainly to improve elasticity, fatigue resistance and also serves as a deoxidizer. It combines high strength, good elasticity, wear resistance and excellent corrosion resistance, and is widely used in the fields of electronics, electrical engineering and precision machinery.
