Core Advantages

  • Versatility: Adaptable to welding, forging, and machining.

  • High-Temperature Stability: Stable up to 200°C.

  • Eco-Friendly: ROHS-compliant, lead-free options available.


Applications

  • Marine Engineering: Anchors, seawater valves, pump parts.

  • Electronics: Terminals, heat sinks, connectors.

  • Automotive: Engine components, radiators, bearings.

  • Chemical Industry: Reactors, corrosion-resistant pipes.


Processing Guidelines

1. Machining: Use sharp tools with coolant to prevent adhesion.

2. Welding: Prefer TIG or brazing to avoid oxidation.

3. Heat Treatment: Anneal at 520–650°C to relieve stress.

4. Surface Treatment: Nickel/chrome plating for marine use.


FAQs

Q1: How to distinguish CuZn20Al2 from regular brass?

A: Regular brass is zinc-based, while CuZn20Al2 contains aluminum (1.8–2.3%) for higher strength.


Q2: Suitable for ammonia environments?

A: Not recommended due to stress corrosion risks.


Q3: High-temperature performance?

A: Stable ≤200°C; evaluate beyond this limit.
