90/10 Red Brass Wire
CuZn10 has very good cold forming properties and is well suited for e.g. coinage, beating, embossing. This alloy has a higher strength as pure copper. It has good welding and brazing properties as well as a good corrosion resistant and is not fragile to stress corrosion and dezincification. CuZn10 is principally used in jewelry, metal goods, and watch industry and in electronic industry for installation parts. We produce qualities with grain sizes below 5 mm if needed.
