CuZn37 (37% Zinc Brass)
International Standards: CW507L (EN 12163), C27450 (ASTM), H63 (GB/T 5231).
Cast Variant: ZCuZn37Pb2 (GB/T 1176-2013).
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).

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.
· Mechanical: Gears, bearing cages, bushings.
· Construction: Decorative hardware, door locks.
· Shipbuilding: Seawater pump components.
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.
Industry | Typical Components | Requirements |
Shipbuilding | Seawater pump valves | Corrosion resistance, strength |
Machinery | Gear blanks | High strength, wear resistance |
A1: CuZn37 has higher Zn (37%) for higher strength; CuZn36 focuses on general applications.
A2: Apply protective coatings (Ni/Cr) or avoid acidic/sulfur environments.
A3: Leaded variants require compliance with industrial exemptions.
