C5111 Phosphor Bronze (Tin-Phosphorus Bronze)
High Elasticity & Wear Resistance: Tin (3.5–4.5%) and phosphorus (0.03–0.35%) enhance fatigue resistance.
Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for weak acidic and humid environments.
Machinability: Cold-working compatible with stamping and bending.
Eco-Compliance: RoHS-compliant (Pb ≤0.05%).

1. Fatigue Resistance: Ideal for precision springs in cyclic loading.
2. Surface Versatility: Compatible with tin/nickel plating for enhanced durability.
3. Cost Efficiency: Direct cold-forming reduces post-processing steps.
Electronics: Connector terminals, relay springs.
Machinery: Bearing cages, wear-resistant shims.
Automotive: Fuel injector springs, sensor components.
Musical Instruments: Reeds and strings.
Cold Working: Limit deformation to ≤50% to prevent cracking.
Welding: Use TIG welding followed by acid cleaning.
Surface Treatment: Ensure thorough cleaning before plating.
A: C5191 has higher tin content (5.5–7.0%) for higher elasticity but higher cost.
A: Not recommended for >150℃; consider C5210 for elevated temperatures.
JIS H 3110-2018: Phosphor bronze sheets, strips, and foils.
ASTM B103-19: Phosphor bronze plate and strip standards.
