About C4641 Naval Brass
Naval Brass is a 60:40 copper zinc alloy to which about 1% of tin has been added to improve the corrosion resistance, particularly to dezincification. The alloy is a two-phase alpha-beta brass, hence has reasonably high strength with lower ductility than the single phase 70:30 or alpha brass. It is used for structural applications and for forgings, especially where contact with sea water is likely to induce corrosion. The mechanical properties are almost indistinguishable from those of 60:40 brass C4641, although the tin addition tends to give slightly higher strength. CW619N can be readily hot worked, and can also be cold worked, but not as easily as the single-phase alpha brasses.

Superior Corrosion Resistance for Marine UseThe C4641 Naval Brass round bars are engineered for excellent performance in marine and industrial environments. Their chemical composition provides heightened protection against seawater corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability for boat parts, fasteners, and underwater attachments. The bright, extruded and drawn surface further enhances the material's resistance and appeal.
Precision-Engineered Dimensions and TemperAvailable in a broad diameter range from 1.5mm to 125mm and lengths of up to 16 feet, these brass bars adhere to strict ASTM tolerance standards. The 1/2 hard temper and extruded & drawn processing guarantee uniformity, straightness, and optimal mechanical properties for demanding manufacturing and fitting tasks.
FAQ's of C4641 Naval Brass:
Q: How is C4641 Naval Brass processed for industrial and marine applications?
A: C4641 Naval Brass is manufactured using extruded and drawn processes, which enhance its mechanical strength and provide a smooth, bright surface. This makes it especially suitable for applications demanding high durability in marine and industrial settings.
Q: What benefits does C4641 grade offer compared to other brass alloys?
A: The C4641 grade is tailored for superior corrosion resistance, particularly against seawater, and provides a balanced combination of strength, ductility, and machinability. These features make it a preferred choice for marine hardware, fasteners, and industrial components.
Q: When should I choose 1/2 hard temper for brass rods?
A: Selecting the 1/2 hard temper is ideal when you require enhanced strength and moderate flexibility. This temper is excellent for applications that need components to maintain shape and resist deformation during installation or use.
Q: Where are these C4641 Naval Brass bars typically used?
A: These brass rods are extensively used in fasteners, shipbuilding, marine hardware, and industrial machinery, where their corrosion resistance and strength are critical to long-term performance.
Q: What is the standard length and dimensional tolerance of these rods?
A: The C4641 Naval Brass bars are supplied in lengths of 16 feet with diameters from 1.5mm to 125mm. They meet precise ASTM tolerance standards to ensure accurate fitment in your applications.
Q: How does the surface finishing of these rods benefit their performance?
A: The bright, extruded, and drawn finish not only provides an aesthetically appealing golden appearance but also improves resistance to tarnishing and wear, making the bars more durable in harsh environments.
