CuZn36 Brass

Brass

Designation

CuZn36 (36% Zinc Brass)

  • International Standards: CW506L (EN 12163), C27450 (ASTM), H62 (GB/T 5231).

  • Cast Variant: ZCuZn36Pb2 (GB/T 1176-2013).


Key Features

1. High Zinc Content: Zn 36%, Cu 60–63%, optimized for strength and casting.

2. Workability: Suitable for hot rolling and forging; cold working requires controlled deformation.

3. Corrosion Resistance: Stable in atmospheric environments; prone to dezincification in acidic/sulfur conditions.

4. Conductivity: Electrical conductivity 25% IACS, thermal conductivity ≥95 W/(m·K).

Core Advantages

1. High Strength & Wear Resistance: Cold-rolled tensile strength up to 650 MPa.

2. Superior Castability: Ideal for complex castings (e.g., valve bodies).

3. Cost Efficiency: 20–25% lower cost than low-zinc brasses.


Applications

  • Mechanical: Gears, bearing cages, bushings.

  • Construction: Decorative hardware, door locks.

  • Shipbuilding: Seawater pump components.


Processing Guidelines

1. Cold Working: Anneal at 450–550°C (protective atmosphere).

2. Hot Working: Rolling temperature 680–750°C.

3. Welding: Use BAg-8 brazing; avoid fusion welding.

FAQ

Q1: CuZn36 vs. CuZn30?

A1: CuZn36 has higher Zn (36%) for higher strength; CuZn30 focuses on casting.


Q2: How to prevent dezincification?

A2: Apply protective coatings (Ni/Cr) or avoid acidic/sulfur environments.


Q3: Is ZCuZn36Pb2 RoHS-compliant?

A3: Leaded variants require compliance with industrial exemptions.
