C69430

C69430, known as silicon red brass, is a preferred choice for underground service lines due to its exceptional corrosion resistance in various potable water conditions. This brass alloy possesses moderate strength and maintains excellent spring properties over time. It falls within the category of high-strength brasses. Silicon brasses like C69430 contain less than 20% zinc and less than 6% silicon. They are solid solution strengthened, making them a reliable option for applications that demand both high strength and reasonably high corrosion resistance.
