C47000

Naval Brass stands as a copper-zinc alloy in a 60:40 ratio, enriched with around 1% tin to bolster its corrosion resistance, particularly countering dezincification. This alloy adopts a two-phase alpha-beta configuration, granting it a relatively robust strength profile albeit displaying lower ductility compared to the single-phase 70:30 or alpha brass. Its application finds a stronghold in structural contexts and forgings, especially in scenarios where exposure to seawater might induce corrosion. The mechanical attributes of Naval Brass closely mirror those of 60:40 brass C28000, with the tin addition contributing to a slightly heightened strength. C47000 exhibits favorable responsiveness to hot working and is amenable to cold working as well, albeit not as seamlessly as the single-phase alpha brasses.
