Brass is an alloy of Copper and Zinc. They may also contain small amounts of other alloying elements to impart advantageous properties. Brasses have high corrosion resistance and high tensile strength. They are also suited to hot forging. Free machining brass sets the standard for machining, by which other metals are compared.
Brass is divided into two classes. The alpha alloys, with less than 37% zinc, beta alloys with 37-45% zinc. Alpha alloys are ductile and can be cold worked. Alpha|beta or duplex alloys have limited cold ductility and are harder and stronger.
CZ106 | CW505L Brass Grade alloy has excellent cold working properties and is used for extreme deep drawing and cold working applications.
CZ106 | CW505L is supplied as Sheet.
The CZ106 | CW505L is used for a variety of components including lamp caps and lamp-holder components, heat exchanger tubes handling fresh clean water.
Chains, eyelets, fastenings, hinges, locks, fingerplates, fire extinguisher bodies, sugar evaporators, and juice heaters in chemical processing, and a wide variety of deep drawn or spun components and general industrial pressings.
Superb cold-forming properties.
Excellent deep drawing characteristics.
Good corrosion resistance
An optimum combination of strength and ductility for alpha brasses.
