C26000 copper rod, also known as Cartridge Brass, is an alloy consisting of 70% copper and 30% zinc, showcasing a distinctive yellow-gold color. Renowned for its excellent strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance, particularly in marine environments, C26000 is highly workable and suitable for various forming processes. It is widely used in applications requiring mechanical strength and moderate corrosion resistance, such as in decorative elements, architectural trims, and hardware. The high zinc content also provides good cold workability, making C26000 copper rod suitable for ammunition casings, musical instruments, and electrical connectors. Its balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal makes it versatile for both industrial and decorative applications.
