FAQs
Q1. What is C54400 Phosphor Bronze Sheet made of?
C54400 Phosphor Bronze Sheet is an alloy primarily composed of copper (about 90-93%), with 3.5-4.5% tin, 3.0-4.0% zinc, and 0.5-1.2% phosphorus. This unique composition provides the alloy with its high strength, excellent machinability, and corrosion resistance.
Q2. What are the key properties of C54400 Phosphor Bronze Sheet?
C54400 offers high strength and durability, excellent machinability, superior corrosion resistance (especially in marine and industrial environments), good wear resistance, moderate electrical conductivity, and elastic properties suitable for spring-like applications.
Q3. What are common applications for C54400 Phosphor Bronze Sheet?
Common applications include electrical components like connectors, contacts, and terminals; bushings and bearings; precision-machined parts such as gears and fasteners; marine and industrial equipment; and springs or flexible components.
Q4. Why is C54400 Phosphor Bronze Sheet highly machinable?
C54400 contains zinc and phosphorus, which enhance its machinability. These elements allow the alloy to be easily cut, drilled, or shaped without causing excessive wear on the tools used, making it ideal for complex or precision-machined parts.
