KEI Produces highest quality bronze strips in a thickness range from 0.1 mm to 3 mm in a slit width of 10 mm to 400 mm for Connectors , Electrical contacts , Spring elements & switches.
CuSn5 provides an excellent combination of strength, excellent formability and hardness. It has a good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. Soldering and brazing properties are excellent. Special characteristics such as superfine particle size or thermal- mechanical stress relieving improve mechanical properties and provide increased strength and greater malleability.
