Copper Alloy No. 878 is a copper-zinc-silicon alloy for die castings. Among the brass die-casting alloys, it has the highest strength, hardness and wear resistance; however, it is the most difficult to machine. It is used where very high requirements must be met for strength and wear resistance. Its many applications include tools, pump impellers, gears and marine hardware. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as casting, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Cu-386. Producer or source: Copper alloy producers.
