C26000 Brass Composition

C26000 brass is a brass alloy, also known as tubular brass. It is primarily composed of copper, zinc, and a small amount of lead. The percentage of each element in the alloy varies slightly, but typically C26000 brass contains approximately 70% copper and 30% zinc. The lead content is approximately 0.07%, which makes it easier to machine and shape. This alloy has good machinability, and its lead content helps reduce tool wear and improve surface finish.

The physical properties of C26000 brass make it an attractive choice for many applications. Its density is approximately 8.53 g/cm³, similar to that of copper. It is also ductile and has good electrical conductivity. C26000 brass has a melting point of approximately 899℃, which makes it relatively easy to cast and shape. It also has reasonable corrosion resistance, making it very useful in environments where care must be taken to avoid moisture or salt.

The mechanical properties of C26000 brass depend on the manufacturing method and material dimensions. Generally, this alloy has good tensile and yield strength, making it suitable for applications requiring good structural integrity. Its Rockwell hardness is approximately 60, relatively soft, meaning this material is easy to machine and shape. This brass alloy is not particularly easy to heat treat, so its mechanical properties do not change significantly when heated.

C26000 brass has many applications due to its unique properties, such as excellent machinability, good electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Some typical applications of C26000 brass include fittings, valves, hose fittings, and various electrical components such as fuse clips, sockets, and connectors. Its corrosion resistance makes C26000 brass popular in marine applications, such as marine hardware, fasteners, and throttle valves.

Welding C26000 brass is a viable option, but it requires proper preparation and welding techniques to ensure proper adhesion. The most suitable welding methods are inert gas shielded welding or TIG welding. It is important to note that C26000 brass contains lead, which may cause health problems. Therefore, all measures should be taken to minimize exposure to lead fumes, dust, and particles.

Our factory specializes in the production and manufacturing of high-quality copper products. We operate a comprehensive, end-to-end production line equipped with advanced continuous casting and rolling mills, precision drawing machines, high-speed rolling mills, and automated heat treatment systems. We professionally produce a wide range of copper tubes, plates, bars, wires, and foils. A strict quality inspection system is implemented throughout the entire process, from raw material intake to finished product delivery. Supported by precision instruments such as spectrometers, metallographic microscopes, tensile testing machines, eddy current flaw detectors, and laser dimension gauges, we ensure that our products fully comply with international and domestic standards-including ASTM, EN, JIS, and GB-in terms of chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality. We are committed to providing global customers with stable, reliable, and fully-specified copper material solutions.

Our products are packaged using professional, customized industrial packaging solutions to ensure they remain intact during long-distance transportation and multiple handlings. For long products such as copper tubes and bars, we use sturdy waterproof wooden crates or metal-frame boxes for secure fixing and protection. Copper plates and foils are individually wrapped with anti-rust paper, then packed into steel-edged boxes or on pallets with reinforced hard corners. Copper wires are wound with moisture-proof film and neatly coiled onto custom-designed reels or placed in wooden cases. All packaging is clearly marked according to customer requirements with shipping marks, specifications, batch numbers, and handling symbols. Desiccants can also be placed inside the packages when needed, providing complete protection against rust, moisture, and impact throughout the entire journey from production to the destination port.
