C23000 Red Brass (CDA 230 / C230 / 230 brass) rod/bar
C23000 copper rod is a red copper alloy, mainly composed of copper (84.00%-86.00%), zinc (remainder) and trace lead (≤0.05%), iron (≤0.05%). It is characterized by high strength and good plasticity, suitable for hot and cold pressure processing, welding and other processes, and has good corrosion resistance. The alloy is widely used in building hardware, pipeline accessories, electrical equipment, fire protection equipment and other fields.

Detailed size range

Diameter range:

The spot specifications are usually φ1.0-φ200mm.

In the industry standard, the diameter range of brass rods varies according to the processing method:

The specifications for hot extrusion production are 10-90mm, and the specifications for drawing or annealing production can be extended to 3-80mm.

The standard limit diameter of wear-resistant brass rods is 5-80mm.

After some standards are adjusted, the diameter of brass rods such as H62 can reach 10-260mm, but the specific adjustment of C23000 needs to refer to the specific standards.

Length range:

The common length is 2500-6000mm, and some standards require a length deviation of +15mm for fixed length or multiple length.

International Standards

The main international standards for C23000 copper bars include:


ASTM standards:


ASTM B927/B927M-23: Standardizes the mechanical properties (such as tensile strength, hardness grade H01/H02/H04) and chemical composition of brass bars for hot and cold water pipes.


ASTM B16: Machining standard for free-cutting brass.


ISO standards:


ISO 426-2: International general standard for copper-zinc alloys.


Other standards:


DIN 17660: German standard for brass and bronze alloys.


GB/T: In the Chinese national standard, the corresponding grade of C23000 is H90.

Main components:

Copper (Cu): The content ranges from 84.0% to 86.0%.

Zinc (Zn): As a residual component, it usually accounts for about 14%-16%.

Trace elements:

Lead (Pb): The maximum content does not exceed 0.05%.

Iron (Fe): The maximum content does not exceed 0.05% (some standards such as GB/T 5231-2012 stipulate that Fe≤0.03%)


Mechanical properties vary depending on processing status, hardness level and product size:


Tensile strength:


H01 (semi-hard): Minimum tensile strength for bars with diameters less than 1/2 inch is 305 MPa (44 ksi), and for bars with diameters greater than 1 inch is 275 MPa (40 ksi).


H02 (semi-hard): 345 MPa (50 ksi) for bars with diameters less than 1/2 inch, and 275 MPa (40 ksi) for bars with diameters greater than 1 inch.


H04 (hard): 435 MPa (63 ksi) for bars with diameters less than 1/2 inch, and 400 MPa (58 ksi) for bars with diameters greater than 1 inch.


Combined with other standards, the tensile strength range can reach 269-724 MPa (39-105 ksi).


Yield Strength:


Wide range, from 69 MPa (10 ksi) to 480 MPa (70 ksi), depending on processing

Elongation:


Up to 55% (2-inch gauge length), elongation for different hardness grades in ASTM standards varies with diameter.

Hardness:


Rockwell B hardness ranges from 48-87, Rockwell Superficial 30T hardness ranges from 51-77; hardness values vary in different annealing states.


Other Parameters:


Modulus of Elasticity: Approximately 110-117 GPa.

Poisson's Ratio: 0.33-0.34.

Shear Strength: 220-340 MPa.
