C24000 Brass Plate/Sheet
C24000 is a brass alloy whose main components are copper (about 80%) and zinc (about 20%), corresponding to the Chinese brand H80. It has the characteristics of high purity, corrosion resistance, good cold processing performance, etc. It is widely used in general mechanical parts, electrical connectors, decorative materials and other fields.

Mechanical Properties

Thickness range:


Copper plate: The thickness range is relatively wide, with cold-rolled plates commonly ranging from 0.5–16.0 mm and hot-rolled plates ranging from 80–105 mm (but extra-thick plates are mostly used for special purposes).

Width range:


The width of the copper plate is determined by demand, with the maximum width of the cold-rolled plate being 1000 mm (some standards allow negotiation up to 1250 mm).


International Standards

European Standards:


EN 13599: Copper plates, sheets and strips for electrical purposes, 0.05–25 mm thick and 10–1250 mm wide, covering chemical composition, electrical conductivity (≥58 MS/m) and mechanical properties.


EN 1652: General copper plate and strip standard for non-electrical applications.


US Standards:


ASTM B248: Covers dimensional tolerances and mechanical properties of copper plates, used in conjunction with ASTM B152.


Chinese Standards:


GB/T 5231-2022: Specifies the chemical composition (Cu 79.0–81.0%, remainder Zn) and processing requirements of C24000.


Main ingredients:


Copper (Cu): 78.5%-81.5% (Chinese standard GB/T 5231-2012), US UNS C24000 standard is 76%-80%


Zinc (Zn): Balance, about 18%-23.5%.

Impurity control:


Lead (Pb): Chinese standard requires ≤0.03% or ≤0.05%, while UNS C24000 contains 0.5% Pb (low-lead brass).

Iron (Fe): ≤0.05%-0.10%.

Phosphorus (P): ≤0.01%.

The total of other impurities is ≤0.3%.


Mechanical properties

Strength and plasticity:

Tensile strength: 360 MPa (52,000 psi), some data show lower (235 MPa), which may be related to different processing conditions (such as annealed or cold-processed).

Yield strength: 170 MPa (25,000 psi).

Elongation: 42% (50 mm gauge length), the plasticity of Chinese standard H80 is good, suitable for hot and cold pressure processing.

Elastic modulus:

117 GPa (17,000 ksi)

Hardness:

Brinell hardness 82 HB, relatively low, but can be improved by cold hardening.
