C16200 Cadmium Copper (CDA 162)

CuNi30Fe1Mn Copper Nickel offers excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine salt water environments. The main, wrought copper-nickel alloys chosen for sea water service contain 10 or 30 percent nickel.

C83600 Leaded Red Brass, also known as 85 metal, is the most common red brass containing 85% copper and 5% each of tin, lead and zinc. Typical uses for red brass involve electrical hardware, fixtures, pumps and more. Aviva Metals offers C83600 Leaded Red Brass, SAE 40 in a variety of shapes including bars, pipes and tubes.

Nickel Bearing C31600 is composed of approximately 89% copper, 8% zinc, and 2% lead, but also contains 1% nickel. This alloy combines the natural corrosion resistance and machinability of C31400 with a higher tensile and yield strength resulting from the controlled addition of nickel.

Naval Brass C46400 is nominally composed of 60% copper, 39.2% zinc, and 0.8% tin. As is typical of brass alloys with the duplex alpha + beta structure, C46400 has good strength and rigidity. By substituting tin for an equal quantity of zinc, a high corrosion resistance to seawater is achieved.
