C2300 Copper Alloy (Medium-Zinc Brass)
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%).

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.
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.
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.
A: C2300 has lower Cu (83–85% vs. 89–91%), higher Zn, lower cost, and slightly reduced strength.
A: Short-term exposure is acceptable; long-term use requires protective coatings.
JIS H 3100-2018: Copper and copper alloy sheets/plates.
ASTM B36/B36M: Brass plates and strips.
EN 12449: 1999: Seamless copper tubes for general purposes.
