UNS C38500 Copper Alloy Chemical Properties, Grade, Chart and Document

The UNS C38500 is the copper bronze alloy, which possesses excellent resistance to corrosion and is widely utilized for a huge range of applications. This alloy is usually formed from copper which takes more than 50% of the alloy content with zinc and lead being the other major alloying constituents. Grade C38500 which is machinable at a great degree is best for complicated pieces of the works of plumbing, electrical, and marine engineering. Its chemical composition will protect it from dezincification together with stress corrosion cracking which guarantees extended service in severe or hostile situations. A comprehensive chart containing the chemical characteristics of the material allows for the exact specification of the material for particular applications. Moreover, specifications of the material separately mention the mechanical properties, fabrication guidelines, and compliance standards which help in safe and sound utilization for different industries.

UNS C38500 Copper Alloy Chemical Composition And Grade Table

UNS C38500, also recognized by the name C385 Brass is an alloy brass which has good machinability and corrosion resistance. It consists mainly of copper (Cu) with some extra zinc (Zn), lead (Pb) and fine amounts of other elements. Its composition has been tuned to achieve better mechanical properties. It is the primary alloy for the electrical, piping and marine applications due to its preferred combination of strength, ductility and conductivity. Its chemical composition is regulated to meet stringent requirements, allowing it to have consistent quality and performance regardless of the grades or applications.
