Detailed Dimensional Specifications

C24000 wire is produced in various diameters and tolerances, adhering to international standards for general-purpose and specialized uses.

Diameter Range:


  • Standard Wire Gauges: Compatible with AWG (American Wire Gauge) specifications.
  • Typical Diameters: 0.07 mm (ultra-fine) to 1.6 mm (medium thickness), with intermediate sizes available (e.g., 0.4 mm, 0.72 mm).
  • Tolerances:

    • Diameter Tolerance: Defined by standards such as EN 1652/EN 1654 and ASTM B134. Custom tolerances for thickness (±0.04 mm to ±0.02 mm), width, and coil geometry can be negotiated.
    • Shape and Surface: Circular cross-section with deviations ≤1% of nominal diameter; smooth surface with minimal imperfections.
  • Mechanical Requirements:

    • Elongation: >30% for 0.3 mm wire.
    • Springiness: <50 N/mm² (resistance to permanent deformation).

 International Standards

C24000 wire complies with globally recognized standards to ensure quality and interoperability:

  • ASTM Standards:

    • ASTM B134/B134M-15(2021): Governs requirements for brass wire, including C24000, covering dimensions, mechanical properties, and testing protocols.
  • European Standards:

    • EN 1652/EN 1654: Specifies tolerances for thickness, camber, and surface quality in rolled brass products.
    • RoHS Compliance: Meets 2002/96/CE and 2002/53/CE directives for restricted hazardous substances.
  • ISO and National Standards:


    • ISO 1190-1: Material designation system for copper-zinc alloys.
    • GB/T 5231-2012 (China): Aligns with C24000 under the H85 classification.
    • DIN/EN (Germany): Designated as CuZn20 (C24000) for industrial and decorative applications.

Main ingredients:


Copper (Cu): 78.5%-81.5% (Chinese standard GB/T 5231-2012), US UNS C24000 standard is 76%-80%


Zinc (Zn): Balance, about 18%-23.5%.

Impurity control:


Lead (Pb): Chinese standard requires ≤0.03% or ≤0.05%, while UNS C24000 contains 0.5% Pb (low-lead brass).

Iron (Fe): ≤0.05%-0.10%.

Phosphorus (P): ≤0.01%.

The total of other impurities is ≤0.3%.


Mechanical properties

Strength and plasticity:

Tensile strength: 360 MPa (52,000 psi), some data show lower (235 MPa), which may be related to different processing conditions (such as annealed or cold-processed).

Yield strength: 170 MPa (25,000 psi).

Elongation: 42% (50 mm gauge length), the plasticity of Chinese standard H80 is good, suitable for hot and cold pressure processing.

Elastic modulus:

117 GPa (17,000 ksi)

Hardness:

Brinell hardness 82 HB, relatively low, but can be improved by cold hardening.
