FAQ
Q1: What is C28500 Brass commonly used for?
C28500 is widely used for engraving plates, precision hardware, stamped components, decorative parts, and electrical connectors due to its balanced strength and machinability.
Q2: How does C28500 differ from C28000 Cartridge Brass?
C28500 contains slightly lower copper content and offers better machinability and smoother engraving performance, while C28000 is optimized for deep drawing.
Q3: Is C28500 suitable for engraving and CNC machining?
Yes. Known as "Engraving Brass," C28500 is specifically developed for stable cutting, engraving, laser marking, and fine-detail machining.
Q4: Does C28500 support deep drawing?
It supports moderate deep drawing but is not as ductile as C26000 or C28000. It performs best in stamping, engraving, and milling applications.
Q5: What tempers are available for C28500?
Available tempers include O (soft), 1/4H, 1/2H, H, EH, depending on product type (sheet, strip, rod).
Q6: Can C28500 Brass be welded?
Yes, it supports soldering and brazing.
Gas welding is possible but requires skill to avoid zinc burn-off.
Q7: What are the surface finish options for C28500?
Mill finish, bright finish, polished, brushed, protective-film-coated strip, and customized engraving-surface finishes.
Q8: Do you supply precision slit coils for electronics?
Yes. We offer slitting down to 5 mm width with tight tolerance and burr-free edges for electronic connectors.
Q9: Is C28500 corrosion-resistant?
Yes. It provides good atmospheric corrosion resistance, suitable for indoor and light outdoor use, decorative fittings, and low-corrosion environments.
Q10: Can you provide MTC or third-party inspection?
Absolutely. We supply EN10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificates, and third-party inspections such as SGS, TUV, BV are available upon request.
