DESCRIPTION

CW724R: The silicon red brass is specified for underground service lines since it offers great corrosion resistance to all types of potable waters, and has moderate strength and good retention of spring properties. Silicon brasses are part of the subgroup of high strength brasses. Silicon Brass contain less than 20% zinc and less than 6% silicon. The silicon brasses are solid solution strengthened. Silicon brasses are typically chosen because of their high strength and moderately high corrosion resistance.
