Description
🟡 Durable C26000 Brass Plate – Premium ASTM B36 High-Strength Brass Sheet
🧩 Overview
C26000 Brass Plate, commonly known as cartridge brass, is a versatile, high-performance copper-zinc alloy plate containing approximately 70% copper and 30% zinc. This composition makes it one of the most popular and widely used brasses in engineering, architectural, decorative, and industrial applications. As a product that conforms to the ASTM B36 standard, C26000 Brass Plate offers excellent formability, corrosion resistance, and strength, making it suitable for both cold and hot working processes.
At our facility, we supply C26000 Brass Plate in a wide range of dimensions, tempers, and surface finishes, tailored to customer needs. With exceptional machinability and soldering properties, it is a go-to material in the manufacturing of components such as electronic contacts, architectural panels, industrial washers, ammunition casings, and marine fixtures.
🔬 Chemical Composition
| Element | Symbol | Content (wt%) |
|---|---|---|
| Copper | Cu | 68.5–71.5 |
| Zinc | Zn | Balance |
| Lead | Pb | ≤ 0.07 |
| Iron | Fe | ≤ 0.05 |
| Total Impurities | — | ≤ 0.30 |
This alloy is classified as a non-leaded alpha-beta brass, meaning it offers a solid combination of strength and ductility while still retaining excellent cold-workability.
⚙️ Mechanical Properties
| Property | Value Range | Condition |
| Tensile Strength | 300–550 MPa | H01–H04 (1/4 to Full Hard) |
| Yield Strength | 100–350 MPa | Depends on temper |
| Elongation | 10–40% | Highest in annealed state |
| Hardness | 60–120 HV | Varies with temper |
| Modulus of Elasticity | ~103 GPa | — |
C26000 Brass Plate offers a unique combination of strength and flexibility. It is commonly used in both structural and decorative applications due to its high work hardening rate and good impact resistance.
🌡️ Physical Properties
| Property | Typical Value |
| Density | 8.53 g/cm³ |
| Melting Point | 899–940°C |
| Electrical Conductivity | ~28% IACS |
| Thermal Conductivity | ~120 W/m·K |
| Coefficient of Expansion | ~20.5 µm/m·K |
These values make C26000 Brass Plate especially useful in moderate-conductivity environments, especially where formability and aesthetics are equally important.
