Frequently Asked Questions

Wie tut phosphor bronze compare zu beryllium copper für springs?

Beryllium copper (C17200) hat higher strength und better electrical conductivity but costs 5-10× mehr und requires special handling due zu beryllium's toxicity. C51000 phosphor bronze ist der economical choice für meiste spring und contact applications wo extreme conductivity ist nicht erforderlich.
