Technical Datasheet
Machinable Brass Service. Quality. Value.
Applications Alloy Attributes
• Hot forging fabrication • High tensile strength
• Decorative applications • High corrosion resistance
Product Description Related Material Specifications
CZ130 brass alloy is a machinable brass typically used in • CW624N • CW623N • CZ130
sections. CZ130 also covers brass with Aluminium removed • CuZn43Pb2Al • CuZn43Pb2
from the above composition. This variation is CW623N. The
addition of Aluminium imparts a golden lustre which
eliminates the need for additional polishing.
Machinability Corrosion Resistance
Very good with a rating of 90. Good corrosion resistance.
Hot Working / Cold Working Weldability
Hot working is excellent. Cold working is poor to fair. Soldering - Excellent
Oxyacetylene welding - Not recommended
Availability Gas shielded arc welding - Not recommended
Resistance welding - Fair
Angle, channel and T-section Friction welding - Good
