Premium Brass Grades: C28000 & C27200
RapidKeen offers two industry-leading brass alloys that cover the majority of machining and fabrication requirements. While we can source other brass grades upon request, C28000 and C27200 represent our standard inventory and provide the best combination of performance and value.
C28000 Brass (Muntz Metal)
60% Copper, 40% Zinc - High Strength & Excellent Machinability
- Ultimate Tensile Strength: 55-68 ksi (379-469 MPa)
- Yield Strength: 20-45 ksi (138-310 MPa)
- Elongation: 10-45%
- Hardness: 50-85 HRB
- Density: 0.308 lb/in³ (8.53 g/cm³)
- Melting Point: 1650°F (900°C)
- Electrical Conductivity: 28% IACS
- Thermal Conductivity: 70 Btu/(ft·h·°F)
C28000 offers superior strength compared to lower zinc brasses while maintaining excellent machinability. It is particularly well-suited for applications requiring good corrosion resistance in marine and industrial environments.
C27200 Brass (Yellow Brass)
65% Copper, 35% Zinc - Versatile & Cost-Effective
- Ultimate Tensile Strength: 48-65 ksi (331-448 MPa)
- Yield Strength: 15-40 ksi (103-276 MPa)
- Elongation: 12-55%
- Hardness: 45-80 HRB
- Density: 0.306 lb/in³ (8.47 g/cm³)
- Melting Point: 1660°F (904°C)
- Electrical Conductivity: 32% IACS
- Thermal Conductivity: 75 Btu/(ft·h·°F)
C27200 is the most widely used brass alloy due to its excellent balance of properties. It offers superior formability, good corrosion resistance, and exceptional machinability, making it ideal for general-purpose applications.
