Overview
C26000, also designated as H63 in the Chinese GB standard, CuZn37 in the European EN standard, is a binary copper-zinc alloy containing approximately 63% copper and 37% zinc. C26000 is the most widely used and versatile brass alloy in the world, offering an excellent combination of strength, ductility, formability, and corrosion resistance at a competitive cost. C26000 Brass Sheet is manufactured to international standards including ASTM B36/B36M, EN 1652, JIS H3100, and GB/T 2041, available in soft (O60 / H00), half-hard (H02), hard (H04), extra-hard (H06), and spring (H08) tempers to suit a wide range of forming, stamping, and structural applications.
