1 Alloy Designation EN DIN CEN/TS CW56L JIS C 268 BS CZ 13 UNS Chemical Composition percentage C268 Cu 67 % Zn Rest % This alloy is in accordance with RoHS 22/96/CE for electric & electronic equipments and 22/53/CE for automotive industry Brass Rolled Products 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. Characteristics, as well as CuZn28 and CuZn3 is combining excellent cold forming properties with good mechanical strength. CuZn3 has good hot forming properties and excellent soldering and brazing properties. Due to the outstanding deep drawing properties and the other two mentioned alloys are called deep-draw or cartridge brass. We produce qualities with grain sizes below 5 µm if needed. Main Applications Architecture: Handrails, Grillwork Automotive: Tanks, Radiator Cores Builders Hardware: Locks, Push Plates, Finish Hardware, Kick Plates, Stencils. Electrical: Socket Shells, Wire Flashlight Shells, Clips, Lamp Sockets, Lamp Fixtures, Screw Shells, Reflectors. Fasteners Groets, Eyelets, Screws, Rivets, Pins, Fasteners.

Industrial-, maritime- and country air. in cold formed temper, as well as under internal and external tension, tends to stress corrosion cracking, when in contact with e.g. hydrous aonia, aoniac salt or amine and others. Trough a heat-treatment of semi-finished or finished products the risk of stress corrosion can be reduced. Not resistant to: Acids, hydrous sulphur components, hydrous aonia (stress corrosion cracking) in non-stress-relieved condition. * For more details call our technical service Stress Relieving Annealing C * For more details call our technical service Page 2

3 Bending Properties :.5 relative Bending Radius R/T Bending bending edge transvers to rolling direction bending edge in rolling direction Bending test according to EN ISO 7438 is done with 1 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 29 results, there the bend definition direction is contradictory.

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 1 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

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.3.6. Page 5
