RA Bronze Foil

 

Product Overview

CIVEN Metal RA bronze foil is a rolled-annealed copper-tin alloy foil developed for applications that require a balance of electrical conductivity, strength, spring performance and formability.

 

The material range covers different phosphor bronze alloy grades, thicknesses and temper conditions for precision stamping, electrical contacts, shielding components and spring applications. Depending on the required forming process and end-use performance, buyers can select the appropriate alloy, gauge and temper rather than using a single specification for all applications.

 

CIVEN Metal processes RA bronze foil through controlled cold rolling and annealing, followed by precision slitting and inspection to maintain consistent thickness and surface quality across the supplied coil.

 

RA Bronze Foil Material Options
 

RA bronze foil is generally selected when a component needs more mechanical strength and spring performance than pure copper while retaining useful electrical conductivity.

Alloy Grades

CIVEN Metal's RA bronze foil range includes phosphor bronze grades such as C5191 (CuSn6), C5210 (CuSn8) and C51100. Alloy selection can be matched to the required combination of conductivity, strength, formability and spring characteristics.

Copper-Tin Composition

Tin content and alloy grade influence the mechanical and electrical properties of the finished foil. The material can therefore be specified according to the requirements of the stamping, forming or electrical application.

Fine-Grain Structure

Controlled cold rolling and intermediate annealing are used to develop a consistent fine-grain structure and control the material's mechanical behavior during subsequent processing.

Precision slitting is available down to 3.0 mm width, with edge camber under 0.5 mm per 1000 mm.

 

 

RA Bronze Foil Temper Options

Available temper conditions can be selected according to the required balance between formability, strength and spring performance.

 

• Annealed (O): Maximum softness and elongation for deep drawing and complex bending.

• 1/4H and 1/2H: A balance between formability and increased spring performance.

• H, EH and SH: Higher strength conditions for resilient electrical contacts, flat springs and other components requiring greater mechanical resistance.

 

Actual mechanical properties depend on the selected alloy and temper and should be confirmed against the required specification before ordering.

 

Surface Options

Depending on the product specification, RA bronze foil can be supplied with different surface conditions, including bright, matte and passivated finishes.

Surface requirements can be discussed according to the intended stamping, bonding, coating or electrical application.
