Naval Brass

Naval Brass is a classic material for many applications in fresh and salt water environments. The addition of up to 1% tin inhibits the loss of zinc in many environments resulting in strong corrosion resistance properties. Good wear and fatigue resistance combined with excellent thermal conductivity and formability yield a brass alloy suitable for a wide range of marine and other difficult liquid environments.

Typical Applications:

  • Propeller Shafts
  • Marine Hardware
  • Valve Stems
  • Heat Exchanger Tubes
  • Bearings
  • Turn Buckles
