C68700 Advantage

  1. Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum brass C68700 exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in marine and seawater environments. The addition of aluminum and other alloying elements forms a protective oxide layer on the surface, providing effective protection against corrosion and erosion.
  2. High Strength: C68700 alloy offers high strength and hardness, making it suitable for structural applications requiring robustness and durability. It can withstand mechanical stresses and loads encountered in demanding environments without undergoing deformation or failure.
  3. Thermal Conductivity: Aluminum brass C68700 possesses good thermal conductivity, allowing for efficient heat transfer and dissipation. This property is advantageous in heat exchangers, condensers, and other thermal management applications where effective heat exchange is essential.
  4. Electrical Conductivity: Despite the addition of alloying elements, aluminum brass C68700 maintains good electrical conductivity. It is utilized in electrical and electronic components requiring reliable conductivity, such as connectors, terminals, and conductive fittings.
  5. Machinability: C68700 alloy is relatively easy to machine and fabricate using standard machining techniques, including cutting, drilling, milling, and welding. Its machinability facilitates the production of intricate components and structures with tight tolerances.
  6. Wear Resistance: Due to its high strength and hardness, aluminum brass C68700 exhibits excellent wear resistance, making it suitable for applications subject to abrasion and wear. It maintains its dimensional stability and surface integrity even under harsh operating conditions.
