Common names: 67/33 Brass

2/1 Brass

67/33 Yellow Brass

A copper-zinc alloy with an alpha phase structure. The alloy exhibits a good combination of strength and ductility, and is commonly selected whenever excellent cold-working properties and relatively low cost are desirable. Service environment must be considered to predict corrosion behaviour. The alloy is often used for a variety of deep-drawn components.
