DZR Forging Brass

DZR Forging Brass is a specialized dezincification-resistant brass alloy designed for high-strength applications that require both corrosion resistance and good forgeability. This alloy is particularly suited for applications in plumbing, marine, and industrial sectors where mechanical performance and durability are essential.

Composition:

Copper (Cu): Approximately 59-63%
Zinc (Zn): Approximately 35-39%
Tin (Sn): Approximately 1%
Arsenic (As): Approximately 0.02-0.15%
