80/20 Characteristics

CuZn20 has excellent cold forming, good hot forming properties and is well suited for e.g. coinage, beating, embossing. This alloy has a higher strength than pure copper. CuZn20 has good welding and brazing properties as well as a good corrosion resistance and is not fragile to stress corrosion and dezincification. It is principally used in jewelers, metal goods, watch industry and in electronic industry for installation part.
