CW711R

CW711R naval brass. Mostly used for machine hardware, screw machine products and valve stems, CW711R naval brass is great for hot forging and pressing and machining. With high ductility, naval brass has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. CW711R naval brass has good creep resistance and high impact strength.

CW711R is a type of Naval Brass with a copper and tin content lesser than that of CW712R. However, it does contain a certain amount of Lead percentage higher than CW712R. Apart from this difference in the chemical composition, it has almost the same properties as CW712R to withstand against corrosion resistance and excellent for hot forming applications.
