High Tensile Brass castings from Birmingham Bronze Foundry
The following high tensile brasses HTB1, HTB2, HTB3 exhibit high strengths and cost less than comparable high strength alloys. These high tensile brasses are used extensively for wear-resisting applications. They are also used for marine propellers, pump impellers and valve bodies, but are liable to dezincification in sea water. Of all high tensile brasses HTB1 is the most widely used alloy, whereas HTB2, in spite of its higher strength, is not so popular due to its lower corrosion resistance. HTB3 has the highest strength of all the copper base casting alloys but is susceptible to stress corrosion, which limits its applications to those involving wholly compressive stresses.
Brasses
Sand cast brasses SCB1, SCB2, SCB3, SCB4, SCB5, and SCB6 are used for a whole range of general purpose castings. They have lower strengths than the gun metals but have the advantage of lower cost. Brasses such as SCB5 and SCB6 have higher copper contents and thus more suitable for welding and brazing. The small amount of arsenic in SCB6 tends to reduce the possibility of dezincification when in corrosive environments. SCB4 is known as Naval brass and is often used for sea water applications although liable to dezincification. SCB1, SCB2 and SCB3 brasses are free machining general purpose brasses the most popular of which is SCB3 which is the cheapest of this group.
