C35300 High Leaded Brass (CuZn37Pb2)

Download PDF

MA35B is a high-leaded brass with machinability rating of 90, moderate strength, and capacity for cold work. The alloy is used in applications requiring a combination of machining and forming operations, without annealing. Examples of use include parts with swaged, flared, knurled, or other formed features, including components with crimping requirement.
