The diameter range of C46400 copper wire varies according to application requirements and production standards:
Single wire specifications:
Bare copper wire or tinned copper wire, diameter range 0.10-0.80 mm
Extended specifications:
A wider diameter range of 0.1-3 mm is available, suitable for special needs such as wire, welding rod, etc.
International standards
C46400 copper wire follows the following international standards:
ASTM standards:
ASTM B21: Specification for naval brass bars, rods and shapes, covering the mechanical properties and chemical composition of C46400.
ASTM B124: Applicable to forged copper alloy bars, including cold-worked products of C46400.
ASME standards:
ASME SB-171: Copper alloy plates for pressure vessels and condensers, indirectly related to the process of processing C46400 plates into wire.
Government standards:
QQ-B-637: Clarifies the technical requirements for C46400 wire, bars and forgings.
Chemical composition
Copper (Cu): 59.0%–62.0% (core component)
Tin (Sn): 0.5%–1.0% (key additive, improving corrosion resistance)
Zinc (Zn): balance (about 37.5%–39.25%)
Lead (Pb): ≤0.20% (improves processability)
Iron (Fe): ≤0.10% (impurity limit)
Other trace elements: extremely low or undetectable content of aluminum, manganese, nickel, etc.
