CuZn38Pb2

Brass

EN CW608N - UNS C37700

CuZn38Pb2 is a leaded brass. It offers a good balance between mechanical strength and excellent machinability thanks to the presence of lead, which improves cutting performance and surface finish. This alloy also exhibits good hot formability and adequate corrosion resistance in common environments.
