2 Cu Zn Pb Sn Fe Mn Ni Al Si As Co Cr Others min Rem max * ,2 incl.* Applications CuZn38Pb2 combines good cold workability with good machinability. Due to a combination of these properties CuZn38Pb2 is highly suitable for all manner of industrial applications, e.g. mechanical apparatus, parts for precision engineering and optical devices. Examples of application: Tubes and bars for application in optical devices Parts for mechanical apparatus Parts of mechanical clocks Parts for fringing, riveting and cold forming At room temperature Physical properties Density 8.4 g/cm 3 Electrical conductivity 13.9 MS/m 24.0 % I.A.C.S Heat conductivity 109 W/(m*K) Heat capacity 377 J/(kg*K) Coefficient of thermal expansion /K Young s modulus 102 GPa Melting range C The microstructures of CuZn38Pb2 provide a mixture of α- and β-phase. Pb is insoluble in the brass matrix and forms fine precipitates improving the machinability of the alloy.
