What is CZ108?

What is CZ108?

CW508L / CZ108 is a 37% zinc containing brass commonly referred to as basis brass. Predominantly an alpha brass it is one of the most popular sheet and plate grades due to its hot and cold working capabilities.

What are the different types of brasses?

There are over 60 types of brass, the most basic categorisation can be considered to group all brasses into three main families, copper zinc brasses (Cu-Zn), Leaded brasses (Cu, Zn, Pb) and tin brasses (Cu, Zn, Sn) these can then be further sub-divided by their more specific properties and uses.

What are the properties of brass?

Brass is the generic term for a range of copper-zinc alloys with differing combinations of properties, including strength, machinability, ductility, wear-resistance, hardness, colour, electrical and thermal conductivity, hygiene and corrosion resistance.

What is alloy of bronze?

bronze, alloy traditionally composed of copper and tin. Some modern bronzes contain no tin at all, substituting other metals such as aluminum, manganese, and even zinc.

What is Kansa metal called in English?

Bronze
Bronze is a yellowish-brown metal made from copper and tin.

What is special about brass?

Brass is a soft metal that may be used in cases when a low chance of sparking is necessary. The alloy has a relatively low melting point. It’s a good conductor of heat. Brass resists corrosion, including galvanic corrosion from saltwater.

Why is brass a good material?

Brass is a great conductor of heat and is corrosion-resistant, especially to galvanic seawater corrosion. It casts well, is reasonably durable and attractive, and even possesses some antimicrobial qualities thanks to its high copper content.

Is Naval brass bronze?

Naval Brass refers to a copper alloy of around 59% Copper 40% Zinc and 1% Tin with a trace amount of Lead. This alloy falls into the subfamily for Brasses known as Alpha Beta or Duplex Brasses. These Alpha Beta Brasses are generally harder and stronger than other non-Alpha Beta Brasses.

When to use cw508l / cz108-basis brass?

CW508L / CZ108 is often used for general purpose applications and forming operations when very good bending properties are required. It also offers a very good general corrosion resistance in many natural atmospheres, a reasonable machinability and good cold heading properties. Annealing Temp. Range Stress Relieving Temp. Range

Which is better cz108 or cw508l corrosion resistance?

CZ108 / CW508L corresponds to the following designations but may not be a direct equivalent: The corrosion resistance of CZ108/CW508L is good to excellent in most environments.
