CuZn40Mn1Pb1AlFeSn is an excellent choice where strength and corrosion resisantace are requiered. The aluminium and tin content gives the CW721R a bright finish and is the main reason for the increase in corrosion resistance. CW721R is sometimes referred to as Manganese Bronze or High Tensile Brass.
Top Applications and best use would be for Arquitectural applications, Decorative Profiles, Fiitings, Trims & Flooring Profiles, Valves and Standard Sections.
Generally supplied as extruded / as manufactured.
