CuZn37 Brass

Brass

Designation

CuZn37 (37% Zinc Brass)

  • International Standards: CW507L (EN 12163), C27450 (ASTM), H63 (GB/T 5231).

  • Cast Variant: ZCuZn37Pb2 (GB/T 1176-2013).


Key Features

1. High Zinc Content: Zn 37%, 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 24% IACS, thermal conductivity ≥90 W/(m·K).

Core Advantages

1. High Strength & Wear Resistance: Cold-rolled tensile strength up to 680 MPa.

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

3. Cost Efficiency: 25–30% 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: CuZn37 vs. CuZn36?

A1: CuZn37 has higher Zn (37%) for higher strength; CuZn36 focuses on general applications.


Q2: How to prevent dezincification?

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


Q3: Is ZCuZn37Pb2 RoHS-compliant?

A3: Leaded variants require compliance with industrial exemptions.
