About C48200 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, this alloy is suitable for Hot forging, pressing and machining.
