Description
Technical Parameters

Civen Metal Material (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of high-precision ra bronze foil in China. Welcome to buy bulk durable high-precision ra bronze foil made in China here from our factory. If you have any enquiry about cooperation, please feel free to email us.

 

 

Material Grades

 

The available base alloys include CuSn6 (C51900), CuSn8 (C52100), and phosphor bronze.

The alloy selection can be matched to the required balance of strength, elongation, electrical conductivity, and forming performance. For precision stamped or formed components, the required alloy and temper should be considered together with the production process.

Dimensional and Surface Control

 

For precision components, foil thickness and width need to remain consistent throughout the supplied material.

The current specification provides:

• Thickness range: 0.01–0.50 mm

• Width range: 5–650 mm

• Thickness tolerance: ±0.001 mm

• Width tolerance: ±0.05 mm

• Surface roughness: Ra ≤ 0.2 μm

The foil is supplied with an oxide-free surface suitable for applications involving electroplating or direct stamping.

Mechanical Performance for Stamping and Forming

 

High-precision RA bronze foil can be used for components that undergo stamping, bending, drawing, or repeated flexing.

The specified tensile strength ranges from 350 to 750 MPa, with elongation of 2% to 45% depending on the alloy and temper. The required temper should be selected according to the forming process and the mechanical performance required by the finished component.

Electrical and Fatigue Performance

 

The electrical conductivity range is 12–20% IACS. Bronze alloys can provide a useful balance between electrical performance and mechanical strength where a component also needs spring properties or resistance to repeated movement.

The material can therefore be considered for electrical contact components, precision stamped parts, and applications involving cyclic flexing.

 

Manufacturing and Quality Control

 

The production process includes melting and casting, cold rolling, annealing, and precision inspection.

During cold rolling, Automatic Gauge Control (AGC) and shape control are used to manage thickness and strip flatness. Continuous annealing under controlled atmosphere is used to achieve a consistent metallurgical structure and minimize surface oxidation.

Quality inspection includes online laser thickness monitoring, Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES), Vickers hardness testing, and metallographic evaluation.

 

Applications of High-Precision RA Bronze Foil

 

The material can be used in precision components where controlled dimensions, mechanical performance, and fatigue resistance are required.

Electronics and Telecommunications

Used for shielding cans, EMI/RFI gaskets, fine-pitch connector terminals, and other precision electronic components.

Automotive Components

Suitable for leadframes, airbag sensor springs, micro-switch components, and other stamped or spring-type parts.

Battery and New Energy Components

Used for current collectors and busbar transition joints in lithium-ion battery applications where the material specification fits the electrical and mechanical requirements.

Industrial Instrumentation

Applications include Bourdon tubes, precision bellows, diaphragms, and other formed components requiring controlled foil dimensions.

 

Specification Options for Production

 

Different components may require different widths, mechanical tempers, and surface conditions.

CIVEN Metal currently provides precision slitting down to 3 mm with burr-free edge conditioning. Available tempers range from fully soft O61 to extra-spring H10, while surface preparation options include passivation coatings or pre-cleaning for solderability.

Individual coil labeling can include heat numbers, test records, and barcode tracking for production traceability.

For a new stamped component or an existing material replacement project, provide the required alloy, thickness, width, temper, application, and forming process so the specification can be reviewed before production.

 

Packaging and Delivery

 

To protect the foil during storage and transportation, the material is interleaved with acid-free neutral paper or protective film. Export packaging uses moisture-resistant vacuum-sealed polyethylene bags with desiccants, followed by protective wooden crates or steel pallets.

For air or sea shipment, the coils are secured with shock-absorbing bracing to reduce the risk of deformation during transit.
