Description
π‘ C26000 Cartridge Brass Plate and Sheet
π§© 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. ASTM B36 includes C26000 flat products. Select C26000 Brass Plate by temper, thickness and forming requirements, and confirm the ordered chemical and mechanical acceptance criteria.
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.
π¬ Chemical Composition
| Element | Symbol | Content (wt%) |
|---|---|---|
| Copper | Cu | 68.5β71.5 |
| Zinc | Zn | Balance |
| Lead | Pb | β€ 0.07 |
| Iron | Fe | β€ 0.05 |
| Total Impurities | β | β€ 0.30 |
C26000 is an alpha brass used for cold-forming applications. Select the delivery temper and thickness for the required forming operation; the listed lead limit is not an absolute lead-free certification.
βοΈ Mechanical Properties
| Property | Value Range | Condition |
| Tensile Strength | 300β550 MPa | H01βH04 (1/4 to Full Hard) |
| Yield Strength | 100β350 MPa | Depends on temper |
| Elongation | 10β40% | Highest in annealed state |
| Hardness | 60β120 HV | Varies with temper |
| Modulus of Elasticity | ~103 GPa | β |
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.
π‘οΈ Physical Properties
| Property | Typical Value |
| Density | 8.53 g/cmΒ³ |
| Melting Point | 899β940Β°C |
| Electrical Conductivity | ~28% IACS |
| Thermal Conductivity | ~120 W/mΒ·K |
| Coefficient of Expansion | ~20.5 Β΅m/mΒ·K |
These values make C26000 Brass Plate especially useful in moderate-conductivity environments, especially where formability and aesthetics are equally important.
