Naval Brass UNS-C46400

Copper can be formed into alloys more freely than most metals. It can also be combined with a broad range of alloying elements. There are 400 types of copper alloys with each consisting of many properties that are suitable for various applications, manufacturing processes, and environments.
UNS C46400 alloys are a type of brass-copper alloys. It is also known as naval brass. These alloys have good corrosion resistance, hot workability, and hot forgeability. The following datasheet will provide details about UNS C44400 brass-copper alloys.

Conclusion

C46400 is a lead-free naval brass designed for primary forming into wrought products. C46400 is the UNS designation while CW712R is the EN designation. Offering good strength and rigidity, the addition of tin gives the alloy improved corrosion resistance and resistance to dezincification. Therefore, C46400 is far less susceptible to the effects of saltwater corrosion. With other notable benefits such as wear, fatigue and galling resistance, the alloy also provides good resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC).
