    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Brass C27000 (Yellow Brass)?

    Brass C27000 is a 65/35 Cu-Zn yellow brass per ASTM F467 - slightly stronger than cartridge brass C26000 (more Zn) with similar cold-formability. Tensile 49-85 ksi depending on temper. General-purpose brass alternative when C26000's properties don't quite match the design need.

    When use C27000 over C26000?

    C27000 is slightly cheaper than C26000 and slightly stronger - choose when small strength gain matters and color match between C27000 and C26000 hardware is acceptable. C27000 is more dezincification-susceptible than C26000 in marine service.

    Marine service guidance?

    Neither C26000 nor C27000 is recommended for seawater nut - both can dezincify rapidly. For marine service use naval brass C46400 (Cu-Zn-Sn) or nickel-aluminum bronze C63000.

    Available dimensional patterns?

    Same as C26000 - ASME B18.2.1 hex bolts, B18.5 round head, B18.6.7M metric machine screws.
