Product Story

The Perfect Balance of Elasticity and Conductivity

In the world of heating materials, precise control of resistivity determines temperature control accuracy and energy efficiency. By precisely adjusting the copper-zinc ratio, CIVEN high-precision brass foil keeps resistivity stable within 6.5–8.0 μΩ·cm with minimal batch-to-batch variation. For PTC heaters and electric heating films that require strict temperature control, this means more consistent performance and higher yields.

But brass foil's appeal goes far beyond its electrical properties. The Cu-Zn alloy gives the material a unique "memory elasticity": it returns to its original shape after repeated deformation, with uniform and consistent spring-back. This makes it an ideal base material for components with frequent mechanical action, such as precision spring contacts, connector terminals and shielding cans.

Unlike common brass foils on the market, CIVEN uses the rolled-annealed (RA) process, giving the material a fibrous rather than columnar crystal structure. This fundamental microstructural difference brings two key advantages: much better resistance to fatigue bending, and a smoother surface with far fewer pinhole defects.

Every roll of brass foil we ship undergoes dual surface treatment: degreasing + passivation. Degreasing ensures consistent bonding for subsequent coating and lamination, while passivation keeps the material from oxidizing or discoloring at transient temperatures of 110°C, which is especially important for reflow soldering or hot-pressing processes.

Why CIVEN METAL

Why Choose CIVEN Metal?

🏆 CIVEN Metal's Edge in High-Precision Brass

Brass foil may seem ordinary, but achieving "perfect elasticity at just 20 microns, batch resistivity deviation under 2%, and 10,000 meters of continuous production without a single pinhole" takes years of accumulated process know-how. We don't chase maximum output; instead, we make sure that every meter of material we deliver meets the standard our customers expect.

Precise Resistivity Control

CIVEN maintains its own library of alloy melting recipes and can tailor zinc content to each customer's resistance requirements. With spectrometer testing of every melt, batch resistivity deviation is held within ±2%, a leading level in the industry.

Consistent Elasticity

Hardness varies by no more than HV5 from start to end of a roll, and spring-back angle consistency exceeds 95%. Spring contacts and connectors made from CIVEN brass foil maintain stable contact pressure throughout their service life.

Dual-Effect Surface Treatment

Degreasing + passivation is CIVEN's standard process. Degreasing thoroughly removes rolling oil residue to improve coating adhesion, while a special passivation solution forms a protective layer that prevents oxidation and discoloration at 110°C, ideal for downstream processing of heating elements.

Fast Delivery for Small Batches

Unlike large mills with minimum orders of several tons, CIVEN accepts flexible orders from tens of kilograms to several tons. Standard specifications ship in 7 days and custom samples within 48 hours, helping R&D teams shorten validation cycles.

Technical Support Throughout

Unsure which material to choose? Process compatibility issues? CIVEN's technical service team of senior materials engineers can help with material selection, process parameter optimization and failure analysis, so your project avoids unnecessary detours.

Full Certification & Traceability

Certified to ISO 9001, IATF 16949 and RoHS. Every shipment comes with a COA and SGS test report, and our end-to-end batch traceability system lets you review the complete production history of your material at any time.
