DATA SHEET
C22000
Among the binary brasses,
Commercial Bronze 22000 holds a favored position where product appearance is a
factor of concern. Nominally composed of
90% copper and 10% zinc, this alloy not only possesses a rich and pleasing
bronze color, but has practical properties such as excellent malleability,
ductility, strength and hardness, surpassing that of C21000. It is also noted for its galling and
corrosion resistance.
Hot and Cold Working: C22000 has good qualities for hot
workability. It is ductile when annealed,
yet is also capable of assuming good rigidity when hard drawn. It also possesses an excellent capacity for
being cold worked. As cold headed wire,
it provides an extremely serviceable stock for screws, rivets, studs and
bolts. It performs extremely well in all
operations requiring drawing, forming and bending, coining, roll threading and
knurling, shearing, spinning, swaging, squeezing, hot forging, heading and upsetting,
piercing and punching.
Joining: Joining by
soldering and brazing is excellent and can be readily done. Good joints can be obtained by oxyacetylene
and gas shielded arc welding. Rod, bar,
and wire may be resistance flash butt-welded.
Applications: This
alloy's high resistance to stress corrosion cracking and dezincification make
it especially suitable for use as an engineering alloy. Because of its remarkable durability, C22000
is used extensively in architectural, marine and building hardware, and
munitions applications where fully exposed outdoor service or rigorous service
exists. This includes its use as etching
bronze, grillwork, chain links, screen cloth, escutcheons, line clamps, rivets,
screws, bolts, and bullet jackets.
For appearance, its pleasing
color also finds use in cosmetic applications such as lipstick and compact
cases, and in ornamental trim and costume jewelry. Large diameter tube production of this alloy
also contributes to its varied uses.
Projectile rotating bands are fabricated from the base stock cut from
these tubes, as are pump cylinder liners, paper rolls, and liquid carriers for
the chemical industry.
Applicable Specifications: When so specified, C22000 will be
manufactured to the latest revision of the following specifications: for wire, ASTM Specification B134, Military
Specifications MIL‑W‑6712 and MIL‑W‑85; for tube, ASTM Specification
B135, Military Specifications MIL‑C‑21768, MIL-C-3383 and MIL‑T‑23068;
and federal specifications.
Standard Forms Available: Rod, bar, wire and tube. For other forms, please consult Ansonia Copper
& Brass, Inc.
