The microstructure is very fine-grained and single-phase. The hardness is 155 HV0.1.

Solid solution strengthening bronze alloy with 6% Sn content. It is characterised by high strength and good spring properties with sufficient conductivity and is suitable for cold forming. The alloy is wear-resistant, has a very good corrosion resistance and is easy to solder. Applications include stampings, connectors, springy conductor components, springs, metal hoses, the paper and pulp industry as well as shipbuilding, apparatus and mechanical and electrical engineering components.
