Brass Coil & Strip H96

H96 brass is a copper-zinc alloy with a copper content ranging from 95.0% to 97.0%, zinc as the remainder, and trace amounts of elements such as nickel, iron, and lead. The total impurity content does not exceed 0.2%.

Strength is higher than pure copper but relatively low among common brass alloys.

Tensile strength is typically above 205 MPa, with some sources indicating values as high as 320 MPa or more.

Elongation generally exceeds 10%, with some data showing elongation rates of 3% or higher (e.g., 45%–55%).

It exhibits good toughness and ductility, making it easy to process through cold or hot pressure working methods such as extrusion, rolling, stamping, drawing, and forging.

Density is approximately 8.85 g/cm³.

Electrical conductivity is about 28% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard), and thermal conductivity is approximately 120 W/m·K, indicating good electrical and thermal performance.

Melting point ranges from 950°C to 1050°C.

It demonstrates high corrosion resistance in atmospheric and freshwater environments and shows no tendency for stress corrosion cracking.

Trace elements such as iron and lead can enhance the strength and hardness of the brass to some extent, improving its machinability.

Electrical Field: Used in manufacturing conductive components such as electrical connectors, plugs, and sockets, where its excellent conductivity ensures stable and efficient current transmission. Also employed in thermal management components like heat sinks and heat exchangers, leveraging its good thermal conductivity for effective heat dissipation and temperature control.

Mechanical Field: Utilized in producing mechanical parts such as valves, gears, and bearings. Its high strength and good machinability enable these parts to withstand significant loads and complex manufacturing processes.

Architectural and Decorative Field: Used to create decorative components like door handles and window frames. Its aesthetically pleasing golden-yellow appearance and high corrosion resistance ensure both visual appeal and long-term durability.

Automotive Manufacturing: Applied in producing automotive components such as radiators and cooling pipes. Its high strength and thermal conductivity allow H96 brass to dissipate heat effectively, ensuring the stability and durability of automotive parts during prolonged use.

The heat treatment processes for H96 brass primarily include hot working and annealing:

Hot Working Temperature: 775°C–850°C. Within this range, H96 brass exhibits good plasticity and workability, facilitating various cold and hot pressure working processes.

Annealing Temperature: 540°C–600°C. Annealing helps eliminate internal stresses generated during processing, improves the material's plasticity and ductility, and enhances its adaptability and machinability.
