Core Advantages of C51900 Bending 3/8 Copper Tube

Strength-Conductivity Balance: 15-16% IACS + 480 MPa tensile strength (H02), outperforms C51000/C51100.

Extended Wear Life: 2× longer bearing life vs. brass (PV limit: 2.5 MPa·m/s).

Cryogenic Suitability: No brittleness at -200°C for aerospace/superconducting equipment.

Processing Compatibility: Supports cold heading, stamping (≤30% deformation), TIG welding (SCu5210 filler).

Brass Thick Wall Copper Pipes
Admiralty Brass Tubes
Lead Free Brass Pipe
Industrial Hollow Round Copper Tube

Applications of C51900 Copper Coil Tubes

Electronics: High-reliability connectors, relay springs, test probes (>100k mating cycles).

Precision Instruments: Hairsprings, diaphragms, brush holders, gears (non-magnetic).

Industrial: Bellows, bearing bushes, chemical pump seals (resists weak acids/seawater).

Transportation: Aircraft sensor springs, automotive seat brackets (cold-stamped).

 

Processing Guidelines of C51900 Rolling Pancake Copper Tube

Hot Working: Strictly 750-770°C; >800°C causes grain growth, <700°C increases deformation resistance.

Cold Working: ≤30% per-pass reduction; intermediate anneal (600-650°C×1h) to relieve hardening.

Welding: Prefer TIG (SCu5210 filler + 200-250°C preheat); post-weld anneal at 500-550°C.

Surface Treatment: Avoid lead-containing coolants to prevent SCC; chromate passivation enhances corrosion resistance.

 

Key Application Scenarios of C51900 Pancake Capillary Copper Coil

Aerospace Connectors: Stable performance under high vibration (Airbus A350 certified).

Marine Valve Bushings: ≥10-year design life in seawater.

Smart Meter Springs: Elastic hysteresis <0.05% (meets Class 0.1 accuracy).

Explosion-Proof Tools: Spark-free impact for oil platform maintenance.

 

FAQ

Q1: C51900 vs. QSn4-3 (C51100)?

A1: C51900 has higher Sn (6.5% vs. 4%), 30% higher strength/elasticity, but 20% higher cost. Use C51100 for general springs; C51900 for high-stress springs/wear parts.

 

Q2: Extra protection in seawater?

A2: Corrosion rate <0.015 mm/year (static). For flow >2 m/s, use passivation/cathodic protection; avoid direct contact with stainless steel.

 

Q3: Microcracks after cold working?

A3: Caused by excessive deformation/surface defects. Solutions:

1. Limit per-pass reduction to ≤25%;

2. Acid-clean oxide layers pre-processing;

3. Intermediate anneal (620°C×1h).

 

Q4: Insufficient hardness post-heat treatment?

A4: Verify parameters:

Annealed: 600-650°C + air cooling;

Aging: 320-340°C×2-3h (hardness ↑10-15%).
