Description

Leaded high strength yellow brass – copper casting alloy UNS C86400 is a cast brass alloy of manganese bronze and leaded manganese bronze. The chocolate color of UNS C86400 can be attributed to the manganese present in the alloy. The leaded brass is commonly called as architectural bronze. The lead in the alloy enhances the longevity of the alloy and gives it an attractive golden lustre.
