|---|---|---|---|
| ASTM/CDA reference | Brass | Specification | Cu 68.5-71.5; Pb max 0.07; Fe max 0.05; Zn remainder |
mass %. A blank cell means the standard sets no requirement for that element, not zero. Single values are limits: "≤" a maximum, "≥" a minimum.
Reference values from the cited standards. They describe what the standard requires, not a specific heat of material; the mill test certificate governs what is delivered.
Mechanical properties
| Standard | Product form | Condition / temper | Test temperature | Tensile | Elongation min | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASTM/CDA reference | Sheet/Strip | Annealed / soft | 20 °C | 300–370 MPa | 45 % (Temper and thickness dependent) | Brass properties strongly temper-dependent. |
Each row is one standard, one product form and one condition — the values do not transfer across rows. A blank cell means the standard sets no requirement.
