WHAT IS C44400 RED BRASS?

C44400 is a tin-bearing admiralty brass alloy designed to improve corrosion resistance in water and marine environments.

Typical composition:

Copper (Cu): ~70–73%

Zinc (Zn): Balance

Tin (Sn): ~0.8–1.2%

Lead (Pb): ≤0.07% (for machinability control)

👉 Tin improves seawater corrosion resistance
👉 Zinc provides strength
👉 Copper ensures durability
👉 Trace lead improves machinability

Alloy Grade: C44400 / High-Leaded Red Brass

Standards: ASTM B140, SAE J461/J463

Forms: Rods, Bars, Tubes, Plates, Custom Machined Parts

Key Traits: High machinability, good corrosion resistance, excellent pressure tightness

Applications: Valves, pumps, plumbing fittings, bearing parts
