High tensile brass, also known as HBT1 is a strong alloy with high corrosion resistance. This duplex alloy is composed of aluminium, manganese and tin iron with each copper alloy offering a variety of characteristics like excellent weldability and hot forming properties as well as high strength and a high machinability rating. Prestige Metal Supplies stocks high-tensile brass rods in grades CZ114 and CW721R which is suitable for a range of applications.
The high tensile brass composition makes this a very versatile alloy. The presence of manganese in HBT1 makes it very strong while the addition of aluminium makes it highly resistant to corrosion.
Applications of High Tensile Brass CZ114/CW 721R
High-strength applications benefit greatly from the use of high-tensile brass and it is widely found in architectural industries due to its strength and decorative finish. It is ideally suited for welding and soldering due to its hot-forming properties. The applications of high-tensile brass include:
- Marine fittings
- High strength components
- Gears
- Valves
- Fasteners
- Architectural fittings
- Pump rods
- Transmission components
- Valve stems
