Product Description
5J14140 Thermostatic Bimetallic Strip (0.22×4mm)

Product Overview

5J14140 thermostatic bimetallic strip (0.22mm thickness × 4mm width) from Huona New Material is a precision composite material compliant with GB/T 4461 standard, classified as a medium-sensitivity and high-resistivity thermostatic bimetal. It is manufactured by vacuum composite rolling of a high-expansion active layer (Mn72Ni10Cu18) and a low-expansion passive layer (Ni36). This grade combines moderate thermal sensitivity, high electrical resistivity, and good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for temperature control, compensation, and overload protection components in the medium temperature range (-20~150℃). It is a core material for temperature control in industrial electrical appliances and smart home devices.

Key Core Advantages

1. Balanced Thermal Sensitivity & Stability

With a specific bending of 260~280×10⁻⁶/℃ (20~100℃), it provides moderate thermal response sensitivity, which is suitable for scenarios requiring stable and predictable bending deformation without excessive sensitivity. It maintains excellent thermal stability in the medium temperature range (-20~150℃), with no permanent deformation after repeated thermal cycling.

2. High Electrical Resistivity

The resistivity of 1.4~1.6μΩ·m (20℃) is significantly higher than that of ordinary bimetallic strips, making it ideal for temperature control components integrated with heating functions (such as thermal fuses, temperature-sensitive switches) and reducing the need for additional resistance elements.

3. Excellent Mechanical Properties & Bonding Strength

Tensile strength ≥520MPa and elongation ≥18% ensure good formability, enabling stamping, bending, and punching into small-sized and complex-shaped components. The vacuum composite rolling process ensures strong interlayer bonding (≥150MPa), effectively preventing delamination under thermal expansion, contraction, and mechanical stress.

4. Good Corrosion & Fatigue Resistance

The Mn72Ni10Cu18 active layer and Ni36 passive layer have good resistance to atmospheric corrosion and mild chemical corrosion, adapting to industrial and household environments. It also has excellent fatigue resistance, withstanding thousands of thermal cycles without cracking or performance degradation.

5. Wide Compatibility & Versatile Processability

It is fully compatible with international equivalent grades (ASTM TM-8, TB14140, etc.), facilitating global supply chain matching. It is suitable for stamping, bending, punching, and resistance welding, and can be seamlessly integrated into various temperature control assemblies.
