Characteristics and main uses
CuSn8 is a copper (bronze) alloy composed of 8% tin. The alloy has high strength and good elasticity. It is also well suited for cold forming operations. The alloy is wear resistant, has very good corrosion resistance and can be easily welded.
Main uses
- Stamped parts
- Connectors
- Contact springs
- Relay springs
- Slide bearings
Corrosion Resistance
Resistant to seawater and industrial atmoshere.
Largely insensitive to stress corrosion cracking.
