bedra49250
Bismuth Brass

Characteristics:
The alloy exhibits excellent turning performance comparable to that of C3604, as well as superior riveting and hot forging capabilities. Additionally, it possesses outstanding mechanical and electrical properties, making it an ideal material to replace lead brass. The alloy is strictly lead-free according to RoHS and ELV.
Typical applications:
Primarily serving as a lead-free substitute for leaded brass, this alloy finds extensive applications in e-cigarettes, connectors, valve cores, embedded nuts, smart charging systems, coffee pot components, consumer electronics, hardware, machinery, construction equipment, 5G accessories, and more.
