C2300 Copper

Copper

Grade Name

C2300 Copper Alloy (Medium-Zinc Brass)


Key Features

  • Balanced Properties: Moderate copper content (83–85%) with excellent cold workability.

  • High Ductility: Elongation ≥30% after annealing, ideal for complex shaping.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Stable in dry and neutral environments.

  • Eco-Friendly: Compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations (Pb ≤0.05%).

Core Advantages

  • Cost Efficiency: Lower cost than high-copper brass alloys (e.g., C2200).

  • Cold Workability: Optimized for stamping, drawing, and forging.

  • Surface Versatility: Compatible with plating, painting, and polishing.


Applications

  • Architectural Hardware: Locks, hinges, and handles.

  • Electronics: Low-current terminals and shielding components.

  • Industrial Stamping: Gaskets, springs, and metal meshes.

  • Decorative Items: Lighting frames, furniture trims, medals.


Processing Guidelines

  • Prioritize Cold Working: Avoid processing at 200–600℃ to prevent brittleness.

  • Annealing: 600–700℃ to relieve stress and restore ductility.

  • Surface Protection: Apply nickel plating or passivation for corrosion resistance.


FAQs

Q1: Key differences between C2300 and C2200?

A: C2300 has lower Cu (83–85% vs. 89–91%), higher Zn, lower cost, and slightly reduced strength.


Q2: Is C2300 suitable for humid environments?

A: Short-term exposure is acceptable; long-term use requires protective coatings.
