Abstract

Copper alloy contains (in wt.%) 60-70 Cu, 0.5-3.5 Sn and further matrix-active elements, 0.01-0.5 Fe and/or Co, 0.01-0.5 Ni, 0.01-0.5 Mn and/or Si, up to 3 Mg, up to 0.2 P, up to 0.5 Ag, Al, As, Sb, Ti or Zr, and a balance of Zn and impurities.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to Cu-Zn-Sn based copper alloys and their use. Background technique [0002] Brass is used in various fields such as machine building, electrotechnical and public health engineering. [0003] In mechanical manufacturing and electrical engineering, due to the trend of miniaturization, structural parts are becoming smaller and finer. Also, components made of brass are often composited with other metallic and non-metallic materials. Both of these however create difficulties for recycling based on dismantled and / or melted material. [0004] Further difficulties arise especially when the structural parts to be reused contain elements or substances which are toxic or harmful to health. These elements or substances can directly endanger workers in the process of preparing or processing these materials. When such materials have to be stored for a long period of time and thus are exposed to climatic influences, the environmenta...
