Brass Plate Specifications — 4 sizes
KS D 5201
Brass plate (C2801, Cu-Zn alloy) with good machinability and corrosion resistance, used for decorative parts, instrument panels, and valve components.
Practical Notes
- C2801 (65/35 brass) is general-purpose; for machining, free-cutting brass (C3604) is more suitable.
- Easy brazing makes it widely used for electrical and electronic component fabrication.
Selection Guide
Copper-zinc alloy — stronger and more machinable than copper. Used for decorative parts, electrical components, musical instruments, valve parts. C2801 (65/35 brass) is general-purpose.

Key Features
- C2600 (70/30 brass) / C2801 (60/40 brass); strength and workability vary with zinc content
- Golden appearance for decorative use; base material for silver/chrome plating
- Adding free-machining grade (C3604) enables mass production of auto-lathe turned parts
Key Applications
Musical instruments (brass), architectural decorative materials, electrical terminals, watch parts, valve/fitting components
FAQ
How does zinc content affect brass?
30% zinc (C2600 70/30) has better formability and corrosion resistance; 40% (C2801 65/35) has higher strength. Above 35% zinc, watch for dezincification corrosion.
