Industry | Typical Components | Requirements |
Electronics | SIM card trays, battery contacts | High elasticity, fatigue resistance |
Automotive | Radiator tubes | Corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity |
Construction | Door handles, bathroom fixtures | Surface finish, oxidation resistance |
A1: CuZn30 has higher Zn (30%), better strength but lower ductility.
A2: Avoid sulfur-rich environments or apply protective coatings.
A3: Zinc increases lattice distortion, reducing electron mobility.
