Brass C27400 Fasteners

Brass C27400 fasteners are composed of copper, zinc, and lead along with other trace elements. Copper makes up the majority of this alloy at 65–68%, followed by zinc which accounts for 30–34%. Lead is then added to further improve the corrosion resistance properties of the fastener. The remaining components usually include tin, manganese, and antimony which are present in very small amounts.

C27400 Brass fasteners are used in many applications due to their corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. The alloy is often used in marine and industrial environments and can also be found in decorative fixtures. One of the main benefits is its excellent electrical conductivity which makes it a popular choice for use in electronics. Its ductility makes it easy to form into complex shapes, while its low thermal expansion rate makes it ideal for use in thin-walled assemblies. Additionally, the alloy offers good machinability properties when compared to other alloys.
