BXB : Swissmetal’s new product.
launching!
We are a profitable, global and responsive company. Furthermore, we would like to be the first choice partner for metal-based precision solutions in high-tech markets.
During 2011, Swissmetal started working on a new concept, on which every department worked on. Today, the Research and Development (R&D), the Production, the Quality Assurance, the Methodes as well as the Sales departments are proud to present you the BXB
- What is BXB?
- Why have you created the BXB if the BZ4 already exists?
After a long research and brainstorming with each of the in house competencies, the BZ4 has been launched many years ago. The aim of this product was to satisfy the very specific and demanding needs of the connector application. This is why the BZ4 presents its actual characteristics.
The connector application market underwent an evolution by introducing new products with less severe mechanical requirements. For this reason, Swissmetal has widened its product assortment by launching the BXB. - What are finally the differences between the BZ4 and the BXB?
| BZ4 | BXB | Differences | Designation | EN CW456K ; ISO CuSn4Zn4Pb4 ; UNS C54400 | No differences | Dimensional range (rods) | dimension of 1 to 13 mm (0.04 to 0.51 inches) | dimension of 1 to 5.5 mm (0.04 to 0.22 inches) | The BXB focus on the small dimensions | Applications | Pins and sockets for connector industry Spring contacts and wear components Valves | No differences | Chemical composition |
| No differences | Mechanical properties | Spring hard 4/4 hard 3/4 hard 1/2 hard 1/4 hard | --------- 4/4 hard 3/4 hard 1/2 hard 1/4 hard | Spring hard temper avalaible only for BZ4 | Physical properties | Density 8.80 kg/dm3 (0.318 lb/in 3) Electrical conductivity 11 MS (19% IACS)
Thermal expansion coefficient 17 (x10-6/K)
Non magnetic Modulus of elasticity 118 kN/mm2 (17115 ksi) Color : brown | No differences | Transformation behaviour | Machinability rating 90% Tool life 80% Tendancy to short chips : 90% Capacity of cold working : good Capacity of hot working : not recommended
Capacity of surface treatment: good | BXB need to be turned before treating the surface part | Corrosion behaviour | Highly resistant to corrosion, non-sensitive to stress and corrosion | No differences |
Compared to the BZ4, the BXB has the main characteristics looked after. Indeed, the client can transform the product as he wants. The BXBBXB is cheaper than the BZ4!
