Soft brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. It may also contain small amounts of other alloying elements to achieve beneficial properties. Brass has high corrosion resistance and high tensile strength. CW508L is an alpha alloy. Alpha alloys are ductile and cold workable.
Material CW508L is a high purity brass for cold forming. It is used when high bending properties are required. It can be machined, but only at low speeds and very low feeds.
The soft brass wire has good resistance to water, steam, various salt solutions and many organic liquids. However, under certain conditions (water with high CI content and low carbonate hardness), corrosion in the form of "dezincification" can occur.
The material CW508L is easy to form due to its homogeneous structure. The alloy is therefore suitable for deep drawing, spinning, drawing, stamping and bending without chipping.
Areas of application of the CW508L are:
Material CW508L is characterized by the following features:
