Naval Brass

Naval brass, also known as admiralty brass or red brass, is a specific type of brass alloy that is characterized by its high copper content and a significant amount of zinc, along with small additions of other elements like tin and lead. Named after its use in the British Admiralty for marine applications, naval brass is valued for its exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly in seawater environments. This makes it ideal for components in naval and maritime equipment, such as propellers, condenser tubes, and heat exchangers, where resistance to saltwater corrosion is crucial. Naval brass also exhibits good strength and ductility, contributing to its widespread use in manufacturing. Its combination of properties allows it to withstand the rigors of marine environments while maintaining functionality and durability.

Note: We provide you with a variety of product forms, including but not limited to: Plate/Sheet/Circle, Coil/Strip, Pipe/Tube, Bar/Rod, Wire, Fitting (Flange, Elbow, Tee...), Customize, welcome to consult!

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.
