C26000 Cartridge Brass

C260 Cartridge Brass has the highest ductility in the yellow brass series. Easily machined but is more often cold formed. Alloy C260 is commonly used for electrical components, electronic parts, and mechanical fasteners. The alloy has good strength but poor stress relaxation characteristics and does not make a particularly good spring material. Although it has good conductivity, the solderability of the alloy is severely impaired by its high zinc content.
