View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

ANACONDA Alloy 260 nominally contains 70% copper and 30% zinc. This alloy is the most ductile of the brasses and also has fairly high strength; it is used in greater quantity than any other copper-zinc alloy. It takes its tradename (Cartridge Brass) from its use as the standard material for artillery and small-arms cartridge cases. It offers excellent-to-good resistance to corrosion in most environments. Its many uses include architectural, automotive, electrical, hardware, industrial, munitions, plumbing and wire applications.
