What is the best classification of brass?

Table of Contents

Like copper, brass is a non-ferrous, red metal. Unlike the pure metal, however, it is a metal alloy that primarily consists of copper and zinc.

What is the composition of red brass?

Red brass usually contains 85% copper, 5% tin, 5% lead, and 5% zinc. Red brass may be copper alloy C23000, which is 14 to 16% zinc, 0.05% iron and lead, and the remainder copper.

What is the hardest type of brass?

More common than alpha brass, alpha-beta brass is both harder and stronger and has a lower cold ductility, than alpha brass. Alpha-beta brass is cheaper due to the higher zinc content, but more susceptible to dezincification corrosion.

What is 260 alloy brass?

260 brass—also referred to as cartridge brass, yellow brass, and 70/30 brass—is a copper-zinc alloy with a distinct shiny, yellow appearance.

What is the strongest brass?

Alpha-beta brasses
Alpha-beta brasses are usually worked hot. The higher proportion of zinc means these brasses are brighter than alpha brasses. At 45% of zinc the alloy has the highest strength. Beta brasses can only be worked hot, and are harder, stronger, and suitable for casting.

Are there different qualities of brass?

‘Brass’ is a generic term that refers to a wide range of copper-zinc alloys. In fact, there are over 60 different types of brass specified by EN (European Norm) Standards. These alloys can have a wide range of different compositions depending upon the properties required for a particular application.

What is the composition of c27000 brass?

Among wrought copper alloys, the composition of C27000 brass is notable for containing comparatively high amounts of iron (Fe) and lead (Pb). Iron is used to increase strength inexpensively.

What is the chemical name for c27000?

CW507L is the EN numeric designation for this material. C27000 is the UNS number. Additionally, the EN chemical designation is CuZn36. The British Standard (BS) designation is CZ108. And the common industry name is 65-35 Yellow Brass. Older literature may refer to this material as ASTM Brass Type 9, but this is now discouraged.

What is the difference between c27000 and cw507l?

C27000 brass is a brass formulated for primary forming into wrought products. CW507L is the EN numeric designation for this material. C27000 is the UNS number.
