CDA Alloy 260 (ASTM B36) UNS-C2600
CDA 260 Half Hard Brass , also known as cartridge brass, has a high zinc content (30%) giving
it the optimum combination of strength and ductility. It has excellent cold workability and used
in the automotive industry as well as plumbing, hardware, and ammunition components. Easily
machined, but more often cold formed and is highly corrosion resistant.

CDA 145 Tellurium Copper is used for forgings, screw machine parts or any parts
requiring high conductivity, extensive machining, and or corrosion resistance. The addition
of Tellurium results in short, clean chips and allows for higher cutting speeds than that of
pure copper, with much less wear on tool life. Typical uses include electrical connectors,
motor or switch parts, plumbing fittings, welding torch tips, and transistor bases.
