CUPHIN – lead-free special brass
Lead-free special brass - chemical composition (nominal, mass fraction)
CUPHIN, DIEHL Leg. 430Pbf is characterized by its lead-free nature. It already fulfills, among other things, the EU directive for electrical and electronic equipment and contributes to the already positive environmental balance of all brass materials.
- Cu: 76 %
- Si: 3 %
- P: 0.05 %
- Zn: Rest
Manufacturing program
- Drawn round rods 6 – 70 mm
- Drawn hexagon rods 6-70 mm
- Drawn profile bars 6-70 mm
- Tubes 20 – 120 x 2 – 12mm (AD x WD)
Physical Properties
- Density 8.3 g/cm³
- Electric conductivity 4.5 m/Ωmm²
- Thermal conductivity approx. 35 W/mK
- E – Modul 100 GPa
Mechanical properties
The Alloy CUPHIN, DIEHL Leg. 430Pbf shows a considerable potential for high-strength properties for different applications. This results in advantages both in the dimensioning of new components and in the design of existing ones. The high strength combined with high elongation at break is otherwise only known from a few types of steel and is therefore an excellent substitute material.
- Rm Tensile strenght 700 MPa
- Rp 0.2% – Yield point 480 MPa
- A5 Elongation at break 23 %
- Hardness 180 HB
- Notch impact work EN 10045 (U-Kerb) 14 J
Corrosion properties
The use of the alloying element P (phosphorus) means that the requirements for dezincification resistance according to ISO 6509 are met. In addition, holds CUPHIN, DIEHL Leg. 430Pbf easily meets the specifications of DIN 50916-T1 with regard to resistance to stress corrosion cracking.
Structure / processing properties
CUPHIN, DIEHL Leg. 430Pbf shows a novel structure of α-, κ- and γ phase. The silicon-rich κ and γ phases cause a short-breaking chip shape and thus good machinability. This eliminates the use of lead.
- Machining: Chip form short-brittle, opposite tool wear CuZn39Pb3 slightly increased
- Forge: Slightly increased forming forces, tighter temperature control
- Cold forming: good
- Hot stamping: very good
- Surface treatment: polish well, electroplate well
- Connect: Inert gas/resistance welding good, hard/soft soldering very good
- Heat treating: Thermal relaxation 200 – 400°C, soft annealing 550 – 700°C
