What is C26000 metal?
C26000 copper alloy, also known as brass, is a copper-zinc alloy with approximately 70% copper and 30% zinc. This alloy has a wide range of applications in industry due to its excellent physical and mechanical properties. Due to its higher copper content, C26000 alloy has good electrical and thermal conductivity and is often used as a structural or resistive material. C26000 copper alloy has good processability in the cold state and can be cut, formed and welded by conventional metal processing techniques. Brass alloys have some corrosion resistance and are able to maintain their performance and appearance in a variety of environments. It is also suitable for applications in marine environments.

Uses And Applications of Copper |
|
|
Power Industry |
Power transmission such as line cables, transformers, switches, plug components and connectors, etc.; motor manufacturing such as stator, rotor, shaft head and hollow wire, etc.; communication cables and residential electrical lines also need to use a large number of copper wires. |
|
Electronic Industry |
Electric vacuum devices such as high-frequency and ultra-high-frequency emission tubes, catheters, magnetrons, etc., they need high-purity oxygen-free copper and dispersion-strengthened oxygen-free copper. Copper printed circuits require a large amount of copper foil and copper-based brazing material. Integrationin the circuit Copper replaces aluminum in silicon chips for interconnect lines and lead frames. |
|
Energy and Petrochemical Industry |
The main condenser tube plate and condenser tube of the energy industry thermal power plant are made of brass, bronze or cupronickel. Solar heaters are also often manufactured using copper tubing. Petrochemical industry copper and many copper alloys, used in large quantities to manufacture contact corrosion Various media containers, piping systems, filters, pumps and valves, various evaporators, heat exchangers and condensers, etc. |
|
Transportation Industry |
In the shipbuilding industry, copper alloys include aluminum bronze, manganese bronze, aluminum brass, gunmetal (tin zinc bronze), white copper and nickel copper alloy (Monel alloy), etc. are all standard materials for shipbuilding. In warships and merchant ships, copper and copper alloys are generally used as aluminum bronze propeller, Bolts, condenser tubes, rivets, copper coated paint, etc. In the automotive industry, copper and copper alloys are mainly used in radiators, brake system pipelines, hydraulic devices, gears, bearings, power distribution and power systems, brake friction plates, washers and various joints, Accessories and trims, etc. The motors, rectifiers and control, braking, electrical and signal systems on railway trains also rely on copper and copper alloys to work. In addition, the electrification of railways requires a large amount of copper and copper alloys.in the aircraft Copper for wiring, hydraulic, cooling and pneumatic systems, aluminum bronze tubing for bearing retainers and landing gear bearings, and diamagnetic copper alloy for navigation instruments. |
|
Mechanical and Metallurgical Industries |
In addition to a large number of copper used in motors, circuits, hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems and control systems in mechanical engineering, various transmission parts and fixing parts, such as cylinder liners, connectors, fasteners, gears, twisting parts, etc., all Need to reduce wear and lubrication with copper or copper alloy. The key component in continuous casting technology of metallurgical equipment-crystallizer, mostly made of high strength and high thermal conductivity copper alloy such as chromium copper, silver copper, etc., and the vacuum arc furnace and electroslag furnace water-cooled crucible in electrometallurgy are made of copper pipe, and various induction heating The induction coils are all made of copper tubes or special-shaped copper tubes, which are cooled by water. |
|
Light Industry |
Copper and copper alloy can be used in the manufacture of air conditioner heat exchanger, watch movement, paper machine mesh, roller, printing copper plate, fermentation tank lining, distillation pot, building decoration components, etc. |

What is the difference between C260 and C26000?
There is no practical difference in the material itself.
C26000 is the full Unified Numbering System (UNS) designation.
C260 is a common shorthand or truncated form used in industry (e.g., in older SAE standards like SAE CA260).
When sourcing material, specifying C26000 is the most precise and universally recognized way to ensure you get the correct 70/30 brass alloy.

We operate a comprehensive, end-to-end production line equipped with advanced continuous casting and rolling mills, precision drawing machines, high-speed rolling mills, and automated heat treatment systems. We professionally produce a wide range of copper tubes, plates, bars, wires, and foils. A strict quality inspection system is implemented throughout the entire process, from raw material intake to finished product delivery. Supported by precision instruments such as spectrometers, metallographic microscopes, tensile testing machines, eddy current flaw detectors, and laser dimension gauges, we ensure that our products fully comply with international and domestic standards-including ASTM, EN, JIS, and GB-in terms of chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality. We are committed to providing global customers with stable, reliable, and fully-specified copper material solutions.
copper product packaging
Our products are packaged using professional, customized industrial packaging solutions to ensure they remain intact during long-distance transportation and multiple handlings. For long products such as copper tubes and bars, we use sturdy waterproof wooden crates or metal-frame boxes for secure fixing and protection. Copper plates and foils are individually wrapped with anti-rust paper, then packed into steel-edged boxes or on pallets with reinforced hard corners. Copper wires are wound with moisture-proof film and neatly coiled onto custom-designed reels or placed in wooden cases. All packaging is clearly marked according to customer requirements with shipping marks, specifications, batch numbers, and handling symbols. Desiccants can also be placed inside the packages when needed, providing complete protection against rust, moisture, and impact throughout the entire journey from production to the destination port.
