C27200

UNS C27200 (standardized under ASTM B36 / B36M for plate, sheet, strip, and rolled bar, ASTM B134 for wire, and ASTM B587 for welded pipe; historically known as Yellow Brass, 63% or CuZn37) is a single-phase (α) wrought alpha brass. Formulated with 63.0% to 68.5% copper and a zinc balance, C27200 offers a balance between mechanical strength, cold formability, and corrosion resistance. Because its copper content sits above the 63% threshold, C27200 retains a fully face-centered cubic alpha crystal structure at room temperature. This single-phase structure provides high ductility, making C27200 one of the standard alloys for deep drawing, spinning, bending, and severe cold forming.
