Which Brass Grade Is Best?

UNS C44300 Admiralty Brass Tube PDF

 

What is the strongest type of brass?

Alpha-beta or 'duplex' brasses contain between 37% and 45% zinc and are made up of both the alpha and beta grain structures. The balance of alpha and beta phase structure is altered by the zinc content. Alpha-beta brasses are harder, have lower cold ductility and more strength than alpha brass.

 

How to identify pure brass?

Scratch an inconspicuous area of the item with a sharp tool. Real brass will reveal a similar yellow tone underneath, while brass plating will show a silver, or sometimes copper base metal. Brass produces a pleasant ringing sound when knocked with a hard object. Try tapping the item with a coin.

Does naval brass have lead?

464 naval brass is a type of copper-zinc-tin alloy containing approximately 59% copper, 40% zinc, 1% tin, and traces of lead. Because 464 naval brass has a maximum lead content of 0.2%, it's considered a lead-free product.

 

What is the difference between brass and admiralty brass?

Admiralty brass is a type of brass with a 70% copper, 29% zinc, and 1% tin composition. Brass is available in more than 40 standard grades, with zinc contents ranging from 5 to 40%. Tin can dissolve in brass in a variety of ways.
