Material Description

Material Number Material Name Material Number (single) Standard Scope Standard Status Country VDA 231-106 classification
CW506L (DIN EN 12163 : 1998-04) CuZn33 CW506L DIN EN 12163 : 1998-04 DIN EN 12163 : 1998-04 replaced by DIN EN 12163 : 2011-08 Replaced Germany 3.2 1)
1) Remark: CuZn33 (CW506L) is an unhardenable wrought alloy. High hardness and strength parameter are achievable by cold forming only. Thermal and electrical conductivity are lower than for CuZn30. Corrosion resistance is similar to pure copper. Processing properties: warm forming: good cold forming: very good machinability: moderately hard and soft soldering: very good TIG-welding: good burnishing: very good CuZn33 is used for deep drawing components, metal goods, watch parts, polishing sheet, wire mesh, cooler strips, tubular rivets and as etching brass. For the electrolytically tinned strip the coatings (Sn bright, Sn matt, Sn fuzed, SnPb) are listed by the application (better solderability, better corrosion resistance, reduction of the electrical contact resistance, better appearance) in the DIN EN 14436 : 2004-11 (Table 5)
