CZ122

CZ122 (CW617N) is classified as stamped brass and is supplied primarily as bar stock for forging billets, although it is also free-machining. The material is mainly composed of 59% copper, 39% zinc and 2% lead, which is finely dispersed throughout the microstructure.

CZ122 (CW617N) perfectly combines thermal working and machining performance, and is most commonly used to produce more complex hot-pressed parts. If plates are also required to complete the contract, the equivalent grade of this material is CZ122 (CW617N).

First, CZ122 (CW617N) has excellent machinability. Compared with other metal materials, CZ122 (CW617N) can better maintain the durability of the tool during machining, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality. In addition, its excellent hot workability and forgeability also make this material easier to carry out hot pressing and forging operations in the production process.

Secondly, CZ122 (CW617N) has excellent thermoforming properties. This characteristic allows the material to maintain good plasticity and fluidity at high temperatures, allowing the production of more complex hot-pressed parts. At the same time, its good castability and weldability also provide more convenience and options for the processing and manufacturing of materials.

In addition, CZ122 (CW617N) also has good corrosion resistance. Due to its special composition and processing technology, CZ122 (CW617N) has high corrosion resistance, and can maintain stability and durability in various harsh environments, thus ensuring the service life and safety of the product.
