Hyper Phosphor Bronze

C5240 (HP)

C5240 (HP)
High Strength 10% Tin Phosphor Bronze

Overview

Hi-Performance C5240 alloy (C5240 (HP)), was developed by enhancing the conventional phosphor bronze alloy C5240. C5240 alloy is phosphor bronze containing 10% tin, with greater strength than 8% tin phosphor bronze (C5210 alloy) and excellent bend formability. A further improvement in bend formability is achieved by means of our strength-enhancing technology. As a material in increasingly compact switches, connectors, relays, and other electronic parts, it meets customer requirements with its high strength properties.
(We provide the Hi-Performance Series-materials with the same composition as conventional products but with advanced material properties achieved by precision process control.)
