Overview

GMX96/GMX215 has a good combination of mechanical properties such as strength, fatigue strength, heat resistance, bending formability and corrosion resistance. GMX96/GMX215 is widely used for contact springs in various applications.
Features
High Performance Conductive Spring Material GMX96
NGK Copper-Nickel-Tin alloy "GMX96" is an age hardening type copper alloy, using spinodal decomposition. GMX96 has excellent characteristics such as high strength and heat resistance comparable to beryllium copper alloy, and electrical conductivity equivalent to phosphor bronze. GMX96 is widely used as contact springs in various applications like connectors, switches, etc.
High Performance Heat resistance Material GMX215
NGK Copper-Nickel-Tin alloy "GMX215" is an age hardening type copper alloy, using spinodal decomposition. GMX215 is a high performance heat resistant spring material with high strength comparable to beryllium copper alloy, and the highest level of superior features such as corrosion resistance and heat resistance among conventional copper alloys. GMX215 is a high-performance spring material suitable for parts used in severe condition such as automobiles and industrial equipment.
Features, applications and specifications of GMX96
Features
-
Tensile strength
GMX96 can achieve a strength of 1,200N/mm2 through age hardening (Spinodal decomposition) and can withstand very high bending stress.
-
Bending formability
Age hardenable material can be formed into complicated shapes and be heat treated afterwards. Mill-hardened material, which does not require heat-treatment after stamping or forming, has well-balanced performance in strength and formability.
-
Thermal stability
Due to less stress relaxation at elevated temperature, GMX96 can be used in a wide range of temperature with little loss of mechanical properties and spring performance.
-
Corrosion resistance
GMX96 has good corrosion resistance and can be used even under severe conditions.
-
Heat distortion
Due to less deformation (heat distortion) after age hardening treatment, dimensional variance after heat treatment is small.
-
Electrical conductivity
Electrical conductivity is equivalent to that of phosphor bronze.
Applications
- Connectors
- Switches
- Sockets
- Ground terminals
- Motor brushes
- Jacks
- EMI shields
- Watch gears
Specifications
- CDA C72700
- JIS C7270
