CuZn30 (30% Zinc Brass)
International Standards: CW505L (EN 12164), 2.0265 (DIN 17660), H68 (GB/T 5231)
1. High Zinc Content: Zn 30%, Cu 60–63%, optimized for strength and casting.
2. Workability: Suitable for casting and hot rolling; cold working requires controlled deformation.
3. Corrosion Resistance: Stable in atmospheric environments; prone to dezincification in chlorine/sulfur.
4. Conductivity: Electrical conductivity 28% IACS, thermal conductivity ≥100 W/(m·K).
5. Cost Efficiency: Lower material cost due to high zinc content.

1. High Strength & Wear Resistance: Cold-rolled tensile strength up to 650 MPa.
2. Superior Castability: Ideal for intricate castings (e.g., faucet bodies).
3. Economic Efficiency: 15–20% lower cost than low-zinc brasses.
Hardware: Locks, valve cores (casting + polishing).
Mechanical: Gears, bearing cages.
Decoration: Antique-style fixtures, lamp frames.
Military: Training cartridge cases (non-combat).
1. Casting: Melt at 1100–1150°C with charcoal cover.
2. Cold Working: Anneal at 450–550°C (protective atmosphere).
3. Welding: Use BAg-7 brazing; avoid fusion welding.
4. Surface Protection: Nickel/chrome plating or passivation.
Industry | Typical Components | Requirements |
Plumbing | Faucet bodies, showerheads | Casting precision, corrosion resistance |
Machinery | Gear blanks, bushings | High strength, wear resistance |
Military | Training cartridge cases | Cost-effectiveness, machinability |
A1: CuZn30 has higher Zn (30%) for casting, while CuZn20 focuses on forming.
A2: Apply protective coatings (Ni/Cr) or avoid chlorine/sulfur exposure.
A3: High zinc content disrupts electron flow, reducing conductivity to 28% IACS.
