C5111 Bronze

Bronze

Grade Name

C5111 Phosphor Bronze (Tin-Phosphorus Bronze)


Key Features

  • 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%).

Core Advantages

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.


Applications

  • Electronics: Connector terminals, relay springs.

  • Machinery: Bearing cages, wear-resistant shims.

  • Automotive: Fuel injector springs, sensor components.

  • Musical Instruments: Reeds and strings.


Processing Guidelines

  • Cold Working: Limit deformation to ≤50% to prevent cracking.

  • Welding: Use TIG welding followed by acid cleaning.

  • Surface Treatment: Ensure thorough cleaning before plating.


FAQs

Q1: Differences between C5111 and C5191?

A: C5191 has higher tin content (5.5–7.0%) for higher elasticity but higher cost.


Q2: Suitability for high-temperature use?

A: Not recommended for >150℃; consider C5210 for elevated temperatures.
