ASTMB280, AS/NZS1571: Standards for specific applications such as air conditioning and refrigeration.
Performance and Features
Corrosion resistance: performs well in the atmosphere, fresh water and partially reducing environments, suitable for condensers, evaporators, etc.
Processability: supports hot and cold processing, welding, tinning and other processes, and has no tendency to stress corrosion.
Physical properties: density 8.7g/cm³, high thermal conductivity, stable strength at low temperatures, and excellent antifreeze performance.
C26000 is a copper-zinc binary alloy (ordinary brass), the main components are:
Copper (Cu): 68.5%~71.5%
Zinc (Zn): Balance (about 28.5%~31.5%)
Impurity elements (total ≤0.3%):
Lead (Pb) ≤0.03%~0.07%
Iron (Fe) ≤0.05%~0.10%
Bismuth (Bi) ≤0.002%
Other trace elements such as phosphorus (P) and beryllium (Sb) are extremely low in content.
Mechanical properties vary significantly depending on the material state (annealing, cold working, etc.):
1. Annealed state (soft state)
Tensile strength (σb): 330-372 MPa or 340-460 MPa
Yield strength (σ₀.₂): 110-158 MPa or 70-230 MPa
Elongation (δ): ≥25% (some data show that it can reach 54-66%)
Hardness (HV): 85-145 or Rockwell B hardness 53-93
2. Cold work hardening state (such as H08 superhard state)
Tensile strength (σb): up to 830 MPa or 890 MPa
Yield strength (σ₀.₂): 450 MPa
Elongation (δ): as low as 3%
Other parameters
Elastic modulus (E): 110 GPa
Poisson's ratio: 0.31~0.34
Shear strength: 220~390 MPa
Key performance characteristics
Processing performance:
Excellent cold and hot processing performance, suitable for complex forming such as deep drawing and molding.
Contains a small amount of lead (0.03-0.07%) to improve machinability and reduce tool wear.
Corrosion resistance:
Stable in general atmosphere, fresh water and sea water, but prone to stress corrosion cracking, annealing treatment is required to eliminate internal stress.
Easy to oxidize and dezincify at high temperature, and protective atmosphere processing is required.
Physical properties:
Density: 8.53 g/cm³
Melting point: 899~955°C
Electrical conductivity: 28%~37% IACS (about 1/3 of pure copper)
Thermal conductivity: 120~138 W/(m·K)
