90/10 Characteristics

CuZn10 has very good cold forming properties and is well suited for e.g. coinage, beating, embossing. This alloy has a higher strength as pure copper. It has good welding and brazing properties as well as a good corrosion resistant and is not fragile to stress corrosion and dezincification. CuZn10 is principally used in jewellery, metal goods, watch industry and in electronic industry for installation parts.
