Commonly called "Cartridge Brass" because of it's use in the manufacture of ammunition, this is the most widely used Brass alloy for New Zealand manufacturers. The main attributes of this alloy are excellent ductility with high rate of work hardening resulting in high tensile strength. The range of uses are many, including forming, pressing, spinning & drawing applications.
63/37 Alloy Brass Architectural Brass, 63% Copper/37% Zinc Manufactured to BS EN 1652-1998, Alloy CW508L and all equivalent specifications
This grade of Brass has a higher Zinc content resulting in increased strength while retaining moderate formability. This material is available with a bright finish suitable for architectural panel applications.
