Wear-Resistant RA Bronze Foil

Wear-Resistant RA Bronze Foil

Wear-Resistant RA Bronze Foil is a rolled-annealed copper-tin alloy foil designed for components exposed to repeated bending, sliding contact and dimensional demands. Available in CuSn6 (C51900) and CuSn8 (C52100), it combines fatigue resistance, wear performance and mechanical stability.

Standard thicknesses range from 0.015 mm to 0.50 mm and widths from 5 mm to 650 mm. CIVEN Metal also supports custom dimensions, surface treatments and trial coils for application-specific requirements.

Key Material

 

Alloy Grades:

Available grades include CuSn6 (C51900) and CuSn8 (C52100) phosphor bronze, providing options for applications with different mechanical and electrical requirements.

Chemical Composition:

The current specification lists tin (Sn) content from 6.0% to 8.0% and phosphorus (P) content from 0.03% to 0.35%. Controlled alloy composition supports consistent material properties across the foil.

Microstructure:

Controlled annealing is used to produce a uniform equiaxed grain structure, supporting consistent forming and stamping behavior in thin-gauge applications.

 

Performance Features

 

Fatigue Resistance:

The rolled-annealed structure is suitable for components exposed to repeated bending and cyclic mechanical movement, including spring contacts and flexible electrical components.

Antifriction Properties:

The copper-tin alloy is suitable for sliding-contact components where wear resistance, surface condition and dimensional stability are important considerations.

Corrosion Resistance:

The copper-tin alloy provides resistance to atmospheric oxidation, supporting applications where the foil may be exposed to normal environmental conditions.

Thermal Stability:

The current product information specifies mechanical stability for applications exposed to temperatures up to 250°C.

Manufacturing & Quality Control

 

Rolling:

Multi-pass cold rolling is used to control the foil thickness and mechanical condition across the coil. Automatic gauge control helps maintain consistent thickness during production.

Annealing:

Controlled-atmosphere annealing is used to develop the required microstructure while limiting surface oxidation during heat treatment.

Slitting:

Precision rotary slitting is used to produce the required coil widths and control edge quality. The current process specifies camber deviation within 0.5 mm per 1000 mm.

Inspection:

Inline thickness measurement and mechanical testing are used for process and product inspection. Grain structure is checked by metallographic examination, and each master coil is supplied with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC).

 

Applications

Connectors

Used for terminal springs, battery contact plates and IC lead frames where thin-gauge material, mechanical flexibility and electrical conductivity are required.

Tribological Parts

Suitable for wear shims, thrust washers and sliding guides used in hydraulic actuators and automotive transmission components.

Electronics

Applicable to shielding layers and conductive traces in high-flex flat cables (FFC), where repeated flexing and controlled foil dimensions are important.

Instruments

Used for Bourdon tubes, bellows and pressure gauge diaphragms requiring thin metal sections with controlled mechanical properties.
