CZ108

CZ108, often referred to as yellow brass, is characterized by a copper content of no less than 62%. Within the realm of cold forming processes, CuZn37 takes center stage as the primary brass alloy. Although some brasses with lower zinc content may display superior cold forming properties, CuZn37 remains the dominant and most widely utilized alloy for compelling reasons.

Primarily, its economic appeal cannot be overlooked. The lower cost of zinc compared to copper makes CuZn37 a cost-effective choice. Furthermore, the alloy’s forming characteristics align seamlessly with the demands of a multitude of applications. As a result, CZ108 stands as a dependable and versatile option for a wide array of cold forming needs.
