Yellow Brass C26000
UNS C26000
Description
Yellow Brass C26000, also known as C260, is a 70:30 copper-zinc brass with excellent ductility, good strength and yellow appearance. It has excellent to good corrosion resistance in most environments, but it is not suitable for use with certain materials, such as acetic acid, moist ammonia or ammonia compounds, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. Its functional and aesthetic qualities and tonal quality make it well-suited for use in parts and products ranging from home furnishings to artwork to musical instruments.
