C22000 Commercial Bronze(brass) pipe/tube
C22000 is a copper-zinc alloy (brass) composed of 90% copper (Cu) and 10% zinc (Zn) . It is classified under the Unified Numbering System (UNS) as C22000, with equivalent designations including EN CuZn10 and DIN CW501L . This alloy is widely used in architectural applications (e.g., railings, balusters) and industrial components due to its excellent formability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal . It is also recognized for its lead-free, eco-friendly properties and suitability for precision machining

Detailed Chemical Composition of C22000 Copper Alloy

C22000, also known as Commercial Bronze or H90 brass, is a copper-zinc alloy with minor trace elements. Its chemical composition is standardized as follows (by weight percentage):

  • Copper (Cu): 89.0–91.0%
  • Zinc (Zn): Balance (approximately 9.0–11.0%)
  • Iron (Fe): ≤0.05%
  • Lead (Pb): ≤0.05%
  • Other impurities (total): ≤0.3%

This composition ensures a balance of ductility, corrosion resistance, and workability. Notably, the low iron and lead content minimizes brittleness and enhances cold-working properties


Mechanical Properties of C22000 Copper Alloy

The mechanical properties of C22000 vary significantly depending on its processing state (e.g., annealed, cold-worked). Below is a comprehensive breakdown:

1. Basic Mechanical Properties (Annealed State):

  • Tensile Strength (Ultimate): 200–260 MPa
  • Yield Strength (0.2% Offset): 69–150 MPa
  • Elongation (at Break): 15–45%
  • Shear Strength: 200–300 MPa
  • Hardness:
    • Brinell Hardness (HB): 70–200 HB
    • Rockwell B Hardness: 42–81 HRB
  • Elastic Modulus: 110–115 GPa
  • Poisson’s Ratio: 0.33

2. Enhanced Properties After Cold Working:

Cold deformation significantly improves strength and hardness:

  • Tensile Strength: Up to 520 MPa
  • Yield Strength: Up to 500 MPa
  • Elongation: Reduced to 1.9–10% (depending on strain)
  • Hardness (Rockwell 30T): 47–73 HR30T

3. Compressive Strength:

  • Compressive Strength: >600 MPa (noted in specialized reports for high-load applications) .
