UNS Number: C38500
Common Name: Leaded Brass (CuZnPb Alloy)
Corresponding Standards: ASTM B455/B455M (Leaded Brass Extruded Shapes), SAE J463.
Product Features of C38500 flexible copper tubing
Superior Machinability: Enhanced by lead content (2.0–3.8%), enabling high-speed CNC and automatic machining with minimal tool wear.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for atmospheric, freshwater, and mild marine environments.
Balanced Mechanical Properties: Tensile strength ranges from 260–655 MPa with elongation up to 60%.
Cost-Effective: Lower copper content (55–60%) reduces material costs.
Thermal and Electrical Conductivity: Moderate thermal conductivity (115–123 W/m·K) and electrical conductivity (24–27% IACS).

Core Advantages of C38500 annealed coils
1. Free-Machining: Lead lubrication ensures high precision in CNC and automatic machining.
2. Durability: Resists wear in mechanical and low-corrosion environments.
3. Versatility: Compatible with hot extrusion, cold forming, and welding.
4. Cost Efficiency: Optimized for high-volume industrial production.
Product Applications of C38500 Pancake Coil Copper Pipe
Construction: Architectural profiles, door/window frames, hinges, and locks.
Mechanical Engineering: Valves, gears, screws, and bearings.
Marine: Non-critical seawater components (with protective coatings.
Electronics: Connectors, terminals, and shielding parts.
Consumer Goods: Clock parts, zippers, and decorative hardware.
Processing Considerations of C38500 Soft Drawn Copper Tube
Hot Working: Extrude at 650–800°C; avoid overheating to prevent zinc loss.
Cold Working: Limited due to high work hardening; annealing required.
Welding: Use TIG with inert gas shielding; control heat input to avoid lead vaporization.
Surface Treatment: Electroplating (e.g., nickel) or passivation for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Key Application Scenarios of Soft Copper Tube
Architectural Projects: Coastal building components requiring corrosion resistance.
Automotive Manufacturing: High-precision stamped parts and fuel system components.
Shipbuilding: Seawater valve bodies and heat exchangers (with coatings).
Industrial Hardware: Fasteners and hydraulic system parts.
