Civen Metal Material (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of thin ra bronze foil in China. Welcome to buy bulk durable thin ra bronze foil made in China here from our factory. If you have any enquiry about cooperation, please feel free to email us.
Thin RA Bronze Foil is a cold-rolled, stress-relieved copper-tin alloy strip engineered for high mechanical stress resistance and electrical conductivity. Manufactured via multi-stage cold rolling and continuous bright annealing, the material maintains a homogeneous grain structure and dimensional consistency across high-volume production runs. CIVEN Metal supplies precision-slit bronze foil ranging from 0.01mm to 0.1mm in thickness, delivered in coil or custom-width formats for high-speed progressive stamping and etching operations.

Performance Features
High Fatigue Strength: Withstands repetitive mechanical flexing without micro-cracking, preserving contact force in dynamic connector cycles.
Controlled Elastic Modulus: Stable spring-back behavior ensures predictable formability after high-speed progressive die stamping.
Low Surface Roughness: Controlled mechanical rolling achieves Ra <= 0.4 um, reducing friction and wear in sliding electrical contacts.
Thermal Stability: Retains mechanical properties up to 150°C without significant stress relaxation.
Solderability & Weldability: Clean, oxide-free metallic surfaces facilitate reliable laser welding, resistance welding, and tin-plating processes.

Manufacturing & Quality Control
Production Workflow
Raw Material Verification: Spectral analysis confirms the chemical purity of incoming cathode copper and high-purity tin ingots.
Cold Rolling: Multi-roll mills reduce foil thickness progressively, utilizing hydraulic gap regulation to ensure cross-sectional uniformity.
Controlled Atmosphere Annealing: Hydrogen-nitrogen protective atmospheres in continuous furnaces prevent oxidation and control grain size.
Precision Slitting: Razor and shear slitting units control burr height to less than 5% of foil thickness to protect downstream stamping tools.
Quality Inspection Protocol
Laser Thickness Gauging: Continuous online monitoring records deviations along the entire length of the coil.
Mechanical Testing: Universal tensile testers measure yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation per production lot.
Metallographic Analysis: Grain size and phase distribution are verified using optical microscopes at 500x magnification.
Surface Defect Detection: Automated optical systems scan for pinholes, scratches, and inclusion marks.
Applications
Automotive Connectors: Terminal springs, relay blades, and sensor contact elements requiring sustained clamping force under vibration.
Consumer Electronics: Miniature battery connectors, shielding cans, and flex-cable stiffeners.
Telecommunications: High-frequency switch components and lead frames.
Precision Instruments: Diaphragms, bellows, and instrument suspension strips.
Customization & OEM Supply
Dimensional Adaptability: Custom thickness down to 0.008 mm and non-standard slit widths available upon engineering review.
Surface Treatments: Options for pre-cleaning, passivation, or specific roughness profiles to match downstream plating requirements.
Traceability: Each master coil is assigned a unique lot number linked to mill test certificates (MTC) detailing chemical analysis and mechanical test results.
Packaging & Delivery
Moisture Protection: Coils are vacuum-sealed in anti-corrosion VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) film with silica gel desiccants.
Physical Cushioning: Suspended inside export-grade fumigated wooden crates or heavy-duty cardboard boxes, utilizing horizontal suspension or vertical pallet cradles with core diameters of 75 mm, 150 mm, or 300 mm.
Global Shipping: Standard sea freight, air cargo, and express courier options accompanied by Certificate of Origin, MSDS, and MTC documentation.
