    CuZn30 is a brass alloy containing 30% zinc that provides very good cold forming properties and can be brazed and soldered. It has increased strength but reduced conductivity and ductility as the zinc content rises. Exposure to ammonia can cause stress corrosion cracking, so it should be stress relieved in those environments. Common applications include metal ware, automotive components, heat exchangers, and electrical and mechanical parts due to its economical advantages over pure copper.

    Description CuZn30 is a solid solution strengthened copper alloy containing 30% zinc (brass). The alloy has
    very good cold forming properties and can be brazed and soldered, welding processes need to
    be executed with care, due to the high zinc content.
    As the zinc content increases, the strength improves, yet the conductivity and ductility are
    reduced and the alloy gets more susceptible to stress corrosion cracking if exposed to an
    ammonia atmosphere, compared to pure copper. If exposed to an ammonia atmosphere,
    CuZn30 should be stress relieved.
    Due to the raised zinc content the alloy has economical advantages.
    Fields of application are metal ware and deep drawing parts, automotive, heat exchangers,
    connectors, chains, coolers and components of electrical and mechanical engineering.

    Material Datasheet‎ CuZn30

    Electrical The electrical conductivity depends on chemical composition, the level of cold deformation and
    conductivity the grain size. A high level of deformation as well as a small grain size decrease the conductivity.

    Corrosion Brass is resistant to: Natural, industrial and salt bearing atmospheres, drinking water, alkaline
    Resistance and neutral saline solutions.
    Brass is not resistant to: Acids, ammonia, halogenide, cyanide and hydrogen sulfide solutions
    and atmospheres as well as sea water (especially at high flow rates).
    Under certain circumstances (high Cl content and low carbon-hardness) dezincification can be
    an issue with CuZn30. The alloy also has a certain sensitivity to stress corrosion cracking when
    exposed to certain environments (e.g. ammonia, amine or sal ammoniac). The alloy should be
    stress relieved if stress corrosion cracking might be an issue.

    Typical uses Deep drawn parts, screws, mechanical engineering, Automotive, components of electrical
    engineering, hard ware, connectors, cases, chains, heat exchangers, coolers, springs, fittings,
    locks, watch industry, jewelry
