C27450

UNS C27450, often referred to as yellow brass, is characterized by a copper content of no less than 62%. In the realm of cold forming processes, CuZn37 stands as the predominant brass alloy. Despite the fact that brasses with lower zinc content exhibit superior cold forming properties, CuZn37 remains the most widely utilized alloy. This preference can be attributed to a combination of factors. Firstly, it is economically advantageous due to the lower cost of zinc when compared to copper. Additionally, the forming characteristics of this alloy align well with the requirements of a wide range of applications, making it a versatile and practical choice.
