Introduction
Brass consists of a wide range of copper-zinc alloys having different properties such as wear-resistance, strength, hardness, color, machinability, ductility, antimicrobial, corrosion-resistance, and electrical and thermal conductivity. UNS C35330 high leaded brass alloys are one of the types of brass, which have free-machining feature with good formability. UNS C353330 is dezincification resistant and good for use in acid waters.
The following datasheet will provide more details about UNS C35330 high leaded brass alloys.
