About
C230 (red brass, CW502L, CuZn15) is about 85% copper and 15% zinc. Its high copper content gives excellent corrosion resistance and dezincification resistance, conductivity of about 32–37% IACS, and excellent cold workability, with excellent brazing and soldering.
Brass C230 is commonly used for fire hose couplings, plumbing fittings, cold-formed hardware, and dezincification-resistant fasteners.
