EN CC752S (CuZn35Pb2AI-C) Leaded Brass

CC752S brass is a brass formulated for casting. Cited properties are appropriate for the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. CC752S is the EN numeric designation for this material. CuZn35Pb2AI-C is the EN chemical designation.

It has a fairly low ductility and a fairly low melting temperature among cast brasses.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare CC752S brass to: cast brasses (top), all copper alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.

Alloy Composition

Among cast copper alloys, the composition of CC752S brass is notable for including arsenic (As). Arsenic is used to protect the alloy against dezincification.

Copper (Cu)Cu 61.5 to 64.5
Zinc (Zn)Zn 31.5 to 36.7
Lead (Pb)Pb 1.5 to 2.2
Aluminum (Al)Al 0.3 to 0.7
Iron (Fe)Fe 0 to 0.3
Tin (Sn)Sn 0 to 0.3
Nickel (Ni)Ni 0 to 0.2
Arsenic (As)As 0.040 to 0.14
Antimony (Sb)Sb 0 to 0.14
Manganese (Mn)Mn 0 to 0.1
Silicon (Si)Si 0 to 0.020
