Alloy 122, also referred to as deoxidized high-phosphorus (DHP) copper, is valued for its improved corrosion resistance and excellent formability. This copper alloy has undergone the process of phosphorus deoxidation, which eliminates oxygen from the material, leaving behind trace amounts of phosphorus. As a result, Alloy 122 is particularly suitable for welding, brazing, and applications requiring high structural integrity. This alloy is a strong choice for plumbing and HVAC systems.

As one of the most commonly used alloys of copper, C11000 electrolytic tough pitch (ETP) or C110copper stands out for its excellent electrical conductivity and versatility. Composed of 99.9% minimum copper, it is considered a commercially pure grade for electrical applications.

Its excellent conductivity makes it ideal for bus bars, electrical wiring, and other components requiring efficient current transfer. With good formability and corrosion resistance, ETP copper is also a go-to material for general industrial and architectural uses.

C10100, also known as oxygen-free electronic (OFE) copper, offers exceptional conductivity and a minimum purity of 99.99% copper. This high-grade copper undergoes a specialized refining process to reduce oxygen content to 0.0005% or less, resulting in excellent thermal and electrical conductivity.
Silver and oxygen are both removed during production of this alloy. The process occurs under a controlled gas environment and as a result, OFE copper has approximately 1% higher conductivity than standard oxygen-free copper (Cu-OF). It’s often the material of choice for high-fidelity audio/video systems, vacuum applications, and other technologies requiring minimal contamination and superior performance.

Containing tellurium and small amounts of phosphorus, C14500 copper (also known as C145 copper, Copper 145, Alloy 145, 145 half-hard tellurium, or TeCu) offers excellent machinability along with electrical or thermal conductivity. It’s a versatile material used in industrial electrical connectors and precision components.

Also known as cartridge brass or 70/30 brass, this alloy is 70% copper and 30% zinc. Its high formability and aesthetic appeal make it popular in musical instruments, architectural trim, and hardware manufacturing.

C27200 brass offers enhanced strength and wear resistance while maintaining good conductivity. This yellow brass is widely used in architectural applications, plumbing fixtures, and decorative components.

C33000 brass has been developed for enhanced machinability and cold-forming performance. It’s ideal for tubing in both residential and commercial settings due to its smooth finish and easy fabrication.

A high-leaded tin bronze alloy, 353 brass provides excellent machinability and durability. It’s often used in high-volume turned components and fittings where strength and ease of machining are critical.

C36000 is the go-to alloy for many machined parts, offering the highest machinability of any copper alloy. Its combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and smooth finish makes it popular for fittings, valves, and precision parts.

Naval brass contains copper, zinc, and a small amount of tin, which increases its corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments. It’s a preferred choice for shipbuilding, seawater piping, and marine fasteners.

C95400 aluminum bronze provides high tensile strength and excellent corrosion resistance. It’s particularly effective in harsh environments, such as marine or saltwater conditions, and is often used in heavy-duty bushings and bearings.

Also known as SAE 660, C93200 is used for general-purpose bearings due to its machinability and wear resistance. It’s well suited for applications involving brine, seawater, and light-duty loads.

Although it is technically a brass alloy, architectural bronze (C38500) offers the aesthetic appeal of bronze but with added machinability. It is a popular material for high-end architectural elements and custom designs.
