MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF BRASS AND BRONZE

A wide range of tensile properties is avail­able in brass and bronze casting alloys . . . from the low of 25,000 psi for nearly pure copper to as high as 120,000 psi in high-tensile manganese bronze without heat treatment. With this range of strength properties, these alloys all offer inherent corrosion resistance, greatly broadening their engineering use­fulness.
