1 Alloy Designation Brass Rolled Products EN DIN CEN/TS JIS C 2400 BS UNS KME offers a wide range of brass rolled products in the form of strips, sheets and discs in order to meet our customer s needs for industrial manufacturing or for the production of gift articles and decorative objects. Chemical Composition Weight percentage Cu % Zn Rest % Ni 0.5 % Sn 0.5 % Fe 0.05 % This alloy is in accordance with RoHS 2002/96/CE for electric & electronic equipments and 2002/53/CE for automotive industry Characteristics has excellent cold forming, good hot forming properties and is well suited for e.g. coinage, beating, embossing. This alloy has a higher strength than pure copper. has good welding and brazing properties as well as a good corrosion resistance and is not fragile to stress corrosion and dezincification. It is principally used in jewellery, metal goods, watch industry and in electronic industry for installation parts. We produce qualities with grain sizes below 5 µm if needed. The alloy type is listed in the USA by EPA to have good antimicrobial properties. Main Applications Architecture: Spandrels, Medallions, Ornamental Components Builders Hardware: Decorative Panels Consumer: Clock Dials, Plaques, Musical Instrument Parts Electrical: Battery Caps, Rotor Bars, AC Motors Industrial: Pump Lines, Welding Wire, Flexible Hose, Flexible Hose Bellows Other: Token.

CuSn20 has a very low sensitivity to stress corrosion cracking. To avoid stress corrosion as much as possible, the alloy should be used in a stress relieved temper. CuSn20 is not sensitive to dezincification, that could occur in water with high chlorine content and low carbonate-hardness. Not resistant to: Oxidizing acids, hydrous sulphur components. * For more details call our technical service Stress Relieving Annealing C * For more details call our technical service

3 Page 3 Bending Properties : 0.5 relative Bending Radius R/T bending edge transvers to rolling direction bending edge in rolling direction 90 Bending Bending test according to EN ISO 7438 is done with 10 wide samples. Smaller samples in general as well as lower thickness allow a lower bending radius without cracks. If needed we supply bending optimized temper classes that far exceed standard quality. Please take care when comparing with ASTM E 290 results, there the bend definition direction is contradictory.

4 Sanitary and Antimicrobial Properties Marc Solioz, University of Bern Copper has been recognised as a hygienic material since the dawn of civilisation and, in the last two centuries, the anecdotal evidence has been supported by scientific research showing that copper is antimicrobial, i.e. it inhibits the growth of harmful pathogens - bacteria, moulds, algae, fungi and viruses. Due to its high copper content of about 80% provides the antimicrobial properties of copper to inhibit the growth of bacteria, viruses and fungi which are in contact for a short period of time on copper containing surfaces. Copper surfaces have sanitizing properties and self-sanitizing activity that make it attractive for hygienic and sanitary use e.g. in hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare facilities or public buildings. The effect has been verified in recent scientific studies on a range of disease-causing organisms including MRSA, Clostridium difficile, E.coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Influenza A (H1N1) and Aspergillus niger.

Softening Resistance Vickers Hardness HV R480 at 400 C R480 at 500 C Time [s] After short time heat treatment Vickers Hardness is measured. The diagram shows typical values. Bend Fatigue (at room temperature) The fatigue strength gives an indication about the resistance to variations in applied tension. It is measured under syetrical alternating load. The maximum bending load for 10 7 load cycles without crack is measured. Dependent on the temper class it is approximately 1/3 of the tensile strength R m. Page 4

5 Relaxation Properties Values from CuZn30 Thermal stress relieved will have lower remaining stress Remaining Stress [%] R C R C R C Initial Stress: 80% of Rp 0.2 Parallel Rolling Direction Time [h] Stress relaxation is tested with cantilever bending test equipment. This method is taking short time relaxation into account. so that the values achieved are very realistic, while other test methods like tube test pretend better properties from the achieved values. Relaxation values give an indication about stress relieve of strip under tension for a certain time and temperature. As it is measured on plain strip. the behaviour of deformed parts may differ. nevertheless the ratio between the different tempers remains the same. Typical test sample thickness is Page 5
