280 Brass Composition
UNS C82000 is an alloy composed of copper (70-75%), zinc (24-30%), lead (0.2-0.8%), and tin (0.1%). This composition creates a malleable metal with excellent machinability that can withstand high temperatures and resist wear.
280 Brass Chemical Properties
C280 has excellent dezincification and atmospheric corrosion resistance due to its high copper content. It is also resistant to hydrochloric acid at room temperature concentrations up to 5%. However, it is not recommended for use in caustic solutions or environments with sulfur compounds due to the risk of sulfide stress corrosion cracking.
280 Brass C28000 Mechanical Properties
Because of its malleability and ductility, UNS C82000 Brass can be easily formed into complex shapes without losing strength or structural integrity. It has a tensile strength of 25-35 ksi (thousand pounds per square inch) and a yield strength of 20-30 ksi, making it suitable for heavy loads or applications that require high-stress levels.
280 Brass Physical Properties
One of the main advantages of brass C28000 is its ability to resist oxidation and wear at high temperatures. It has a melting point between 937°F – 1017°F (507°C – 550°C), depending on the alloying elements present in the material; this makes it suitable for applications involving extreme heat or friction such as bearings or gears in internal combustion engines.
280 Brass Uses
Due to its combination of properties-malleability, corrosive resistance, heat resistance brass 280 is often used in applications involving fluid flow systems such as pipes or pumps; valves; electrical components; automotive components; decorative objects; fasteners; fittings; castings; gaskets; nuts & bolts etc. It can also be used for bearing surfaces due to its low coefficient of friction which helps reduce wear on moving parts during operation.
280 Brass Corrosion Resistance
Brass 280 Alloy offers excellent corrosion resistance thanks to its high copper content. It prevents dezincification when exposed to water or other corrosive substances over time like most other alloys containing zinc. It also resists attacks from organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, and non-oxidizing mineral acids, including sulfuric acid in concentrations up to 15%.
280 Brass Heat Resistance
C28000 is one of the most versatile and dependable metals used in industrial applications – especially regarding heat resistance. With a melting point of nearly 1700 degrees Fahrenheit, Brass 280 is specially designed to retain its strength under extreme temperatures, making it an ideal material for constructing high-pressure equipment and parts exposed to harsh conditions. Its superior ability to resist oxidation makes it a perfect alloy for many industries, including energy production, chemical manufacturing and food processing. These qualities make Brass 280 the premier heat-resistant material on the market today
