Phosphorbronze CuSn6 (CW452K)
CuSn6 is characterised by a particularly favourable combination of strength, hardness and cold formability. The material is wear-resistant, has very good corrosion resistance and can be soldered easily. Due to its electrical conductivity, CuSn6 is also used for conductors.
We stock CuSn6 in sheets and plates. Bars and tubes are available in the material CuSn8 (CW453K) from our extensive stock ranges.
