About
C274 (yellow brass, 63/37, CuZn37, CW508L) is about 61–64% copper with the balance zinc. It combines good ductility and excellent cold workability with excellent soldering and brazing, conductivity of about 27% IACS, and a machinability rating of 35.
It is susceptible to dezincification and has limited heat resistance.
Brass C274 is commonly used for plumbing fittings, electrical connectors, and ammunition casings.
