Description
An old term for a Brass alloy containing 70-73% Copper, about 1% Tin and 0.01% Arsenic with the balance composed of Zinc. Small amounts of additional tin increase the hardness and strength while decreasing the ductility. This alloy offers good resistance to dilute acids and alkalis, Sea water and sulfurous atmospheres (Lewis, 1993)
Synonyms and Related Terms
