C23000 Red Brass (CDA 230 / C230 / 230 brass) wire
C23000, also known as Red Brass (85/15), is a copper-zinc alloy containing approximately 84.3–85% copper and 15% zinc, with trace impurities (e.g., Sn, Pb, Fe ≤0.01%)

Dimensional Specifications for C23000 Wire

C23000 wire is commercially available in standardized diameters, with typical dimensions including:

  • Diameter:
    • 2.0 mm (0.08 in.), commonly referenced in mechanical property testing .
    • Customized diameters (e.g., thin wires for electronics or thicker gauges for structural components) may be produced based on application requirements, though specific ranges are not explicitly detailed in available standards .

 International Standards

C23000 wire complies with the following international standards:

  • ASTM B36: Specifies requirements for rolled or drawn brass sheet, strip, plate, and wire, including C23000 .
  • ASTM B249/B249M: Covers general specifications for brass wire, though C23000 is more directly associated with ASTM B36 .
  • ISO and GB: Corresponding designations include H85 (China) and C2300 (Japan), aligning with ISO/GB frameworks for copper-zinc alloys .

Main components:

Copper (Cu): The content ranges from 84.0% to 86.0%.

Zinc (Zn): As a residual component, it usually accounts for about 14%-16%.

Trace elements:

Lead (Pb): The maximum content does not exceed 0.05%.

Iron (Fe): The maximum content does not exceed 0.05% (some standards such as GB/T 5231-2012 stipulate that Fe≤0.03%)



Mechanical properties vary depending on processing status, hardness level and product size:


Tensile strength:


H01 (semi-hard): Minimum tensile strength for bars with diameters less than 1/2 inch is 305 MPa (44 ksi), and for bars with diameters greater than 1 inch is 275 MPa (40 ksi).


H02 (semi-hard): 345 MPa (50 ksi) for bars with diameters less than 1/2 inch, and 275 MPa (40 ksi) for bars with diameters greater than 1 inch.


H04 (hard): 435 MPa (63 ksi) for bars with diameters less than 1/2 inch, and 400 MPa (58 ksi) for bars with diameters greater than 1 inch.


Combined with other standards, the tensile strength range can reach 269-724 MPa (39-105 ksi).


Yield Strength:


Wide range, from 69 MPa (10 ksi) to 480 MPa (70 ksi), depending on processing

Elongation:


Up to 55% (2-inch gauge length), elongation for different hardness grades in ASTM standards varies with diameter.

Hardness:


Rockwell B hardness ranges from 48-87, Rockwell Superficial 30T hardness ranges from 51-77; hardness values vary in different annealing states.


Other Parameters:


Modulus of Elasticity: Approximately 110-117 GPa.

Poisson's Ratio: 0.33-0.34.

Shear Strength: 220-340 MPa.
