C26800 Zinc Brass Coil/Strip
C26800 copper strip and copper coil is a brass alloy material with high conductivity and excellent corrosion resistance. It is mainly composed of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn). The copper content is usually between 63% and 68.5%, and contains a small amount of lead (Pb≤0.09%), iron (Fe≤0.05%) and other elements. Its excellent conductivity, processing performance and mechanical strength make it widely used in electronic connectors, radiators, hardware accessories and other fields.

Detailed size range

Thickness range:

The standard thickness of copper strip is 0.035-2.5mm (some data show that it can be expanded to 5.0mm), and common specifications are concentrated between 0.05-2.0mm.

The thickness of copper coil is consistent with that of copper strip, but ultra-thin or thicker specifications (such as 0.1-3.0mm) can be customized according to needs.


2. Width range:


The width of copper strip is usually 7-610mm, and some standards cover narrower (3mm) or wider (1250mm) specifications.

The width of copper coil is similar to that of copper strip, and ultra-narrow or ultra-wide sizes can be customized for special applications.

Other parameters:

The inner diameter of copper coil is usually 80-500mm, and the weight of a single coil can reach 14kg/mm.

The length can be customized according to needs, and the common length is 1-100 meters.

International standards

The international standards corresponding to C26800 include:


ASTM: B36 (plate), B587 (tube).

JIS: C2680.

ISO: CuZn34 (CW506L).

EN: CW506L.

Chinese standards: GB/T 5231-2012 (chemical composition), GB/T 2040-2017 (sheet).

In addition, the material has passed SGS certification and complies with regional standards such as DIN and EN. Its mechanical properties (such as tensile strength, hardness) and conductivity (higher conductivity in soft state) need to be determined according to the specific processing state (such as soft state, semi-hard state, full hard state).


Chemical composition (mass percentage):

Copper (Cu): 64.0%~68.5%

Zinc (Zn): Balance (about 31%~36%)

Lead (Pb): ≤0.15% (some standards such as ASTM stipulate ≤0.09%)

Iron (Fe): ≤0.05%

Other elements: such as boron (B) ≤0.01%, bismuth (Bi) ≤0.002%, etc., total impurity ≤0.45%


Mechanical properties vary significantly with processing conditions (such as annealing, cold working), and common conditions include H00 (soft state) to H10 (full hard state). Take the typical state as an example:


Annealed state (OS035):


Tensile strength: 345 MPa (50 ksi)

Elongation: 60%

Shear strength: 234 MPa (34 ksi)

Semi-hard state (H02):


Tensile strength: 607 MPa (88 ksi)

Elongation: 15%

Full hard state (H04):


Tensile strength: 758 MPa (110 ksi) or 510 MPa (74 ksi) (different test standards or data sources)

Elongation: 8%

Yield strength: 420 MPa (60 ksi)

Brinell hardness: 80 HB

Other conditions (H08):


Tensile strength: 883 MPa (128 ksi)

Elongation: 3%

Physical properties:

Melting point: liquidus 930°C (1710°F), solidus 904°C (1660°F)

Density: 8.1~8.47 g/cm³

Electrical conductivity: 27% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard)

Thermal conductivity: 116~120 W/m·K

Coefficient of thermal expansion: 20~20.3 µm/m·°C (70~572°F)

Application and processing characteristics:

Corrosion resistance: good, but avoid contact with ammonia, mercury or acidic media to prevent stress corrosion or dezincification.

Processing performance:

Excellent cold working ability, suitable for stamping, drawing and other processes.

Poor hot forming ability, recommended annealing temperature 540~600°C (annealed state) or 800~1300°F (stress relief after cold working).

C26800 copper strip and copper coil production process and product advantages:


I. Production process


1. Raw material processing and melting


Use high-purity cathode copper (copper content 99.99%), and form the ingot by melting and casting to ensure low impurity content.


Some projects use continuous extrusion method to heat and deform the Φ20 copper rod and then cool it to form the ingot.


2. Rolling and rolling


After milling and edge milling, the ingot is rough rolled and finished rolled, and annealing is interspersed in the middle to eliminate stress and adjust the structure.


Copper powder may be added during the rolling process, and the material density is enhanced by multiple sintering and rolling.


3. Surface treatment and cleaning


Including degreasing, pickling, passivation, water washing, brushing and grinding to remove surface oxides and impurities, and finally drying and rolling.


4. Striping and forming


The copper strip strip uses professional cutting equipment to control the width, and the trimming process ensures the edge is regular, and the thickness accuracy can reach ±0.005-0.02mm.

Applying MULTICOIL® technology, stacking copper coils can achieve continuous stamping of long strips and reduce downtime.

2. Product advantages

Excellent material properties


Mechanical properties: tensile strength ≥290 MPa, elongation ≥40%, with both high strength and good plasticity, suitable for complex processing such as cold stamping and deep drawing.

Corrosion resistance: resistant to atmospheric and freshwater corrosion, and has anti-desizinization properties, suitable for humid or corrosive environments.

Processing adaptability


Different hardness states (soft state, 1/4 hard, full hard, etc.) can be provided to meet diverse needs.

The surface is smooth and non-oxidized, and the conductive performance is stable, which is suitable for high-precision fields such as electronic connectors and radio frequency cables.

Environmental protection and certification


Complies with international standards such as ASTM, GB/T, and has passed ISO9001 quality certification and SGS environmental protection certification, meeting lead-free environmental protection requirements.

Production efficiency and economy


Continuous extrusion and MULTICOIL® technology greatly improve production efficiency and reduce mold loss.

Compared with similar materials (such as H68), C26800 has lower cost and outstanding cost performance.

3. Typical applications

Electronic appliances: transformers, battery components, connectors, etc.

Cooling system: radiator shell, bellows and other high temperature resistant parts.

Industrial manufacturing: cold heading wire, copper sleeve, precision stamping parts, etc.
