Dimensional Specifications

C21000 copper wire is available in round wire form, with diameter ranges depending on manufacturing capabilities:

  • Standard diameter range: 0.05 mm to 40 mm .
  • Customizable sizes: Some manufacturers offer diameters from 0.03 mm to 3 mm, tailored for specialized applications like electronics and fine instrumentation .

Note: Flat or tubular forms (e.g., flat copper tubes) are excluded as per the user’s request.


International Standards

C21000 copper wire complies with the following key international standards:

StandardRegion/OrganizationSpecification
ASTM B134/B134MUSACovers round, hexagonal, and rectangular brass wire, including C21000 .
JIS C2100JapanEquivalent to C21000, specifying brass wire for electrical and mechanical uses .
EN CuZn5EuropeDefines brass wire with 94–96% Cu (C21000 equivalent) .
GB/T 5231ChinaCorresponds to H95 brass, equivalent to C21000 in composition and properties .
Additional standards include SAE J461/J463 (USA) and ISO 426-1 (international), which align with C21000’s mechanical and chemical requirements



Chemical Composition

C21000 is a high-copper brass alloy (also classified as "red brass") with a primary composition of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), along with trace elements. The exact chemical limits are standardized under ASTM specifications such as ASTM B36/B36M and ASTM B587. Here is the detailed composition:

ElementContent Range (wt%)Notes
Copper (Cu)94.0–96.0%Primary constituent
Zinc (Zn)BalanceTypically 4–6% (residual)
Lead (Pb)≤0.05%Strictly controlled impurity
Iron (Fe)≤0.05%Impurity limit per ASTM B36
Other Impurities≤0.3% (total)Includes P, Sb, Bi, etc. [1](#user-content-ref-4), [3](#user-content-ref-6), [18](#user-content-ref-12), [31](#user-content-ref-22)

Key Points:

  • C21000 is distinct from nickel-containing alloys (e.g., [31] incorrectly mention nickel; this appears to be an error, as other ASTM sources confirm it is a Cu-Zn alloy).

  • The alloy is often referenced as H95 in Chinese standards (GB/T 5231) and CuZn5 in European standards [35](#user-content-ref-22).


Mechanical Properties

C21000 exhibits a combination of high strength, ductility, and excellent cold-working capabilities. Properties vary depending on temper (annealed, cold-rolled, etc.):
