Introduction to Brass 260

What
Brass 260 (C26000) is a copper-zinc alloy with a typical 70/30 composition. Its high ductility and formability make it suitable for producing components that require bending, stamping, and spinning. It has moderate strength and corrosion resistance, often used in decorative and functional applications.
Advantages
Excellent cold workability and formability
Good corrosion resistance in normal environments
Attractive golden color, suitable for decorative use
High ductility for deep drawing and stamping
 
 
Applications
Ammunition cartridge cases (hence the name)
Electrical connectors and terminals
Architectural panels and decorative items
Radiator cores and heat exchanger tubing
