C37700 copper plate, which belongs to the Navy brass category, is a copper alloy material with enhanced properties. It achieves optimized physical and chemical properties by adding zinc to copper and small amounts of other elements such as aluminum or tin. The most notable feature of this sheet is its excellent corrosion resistance, especially in salt water environments, making it ideal for shipbuilding and offshore installations.C37700 is effective in resisting marine atmospheric erosion, reducing bio-attachment, extending equipment life and reducing maintenance costs.
In addition, C37700 copper plate also shows good mechanical properties, not only has enough strength to carry heavy loads, but also shows good plasticity and weldability during processing and manufacturing, making it easy to manufacture into complex and precise parts and components. These comprehensive advantages also make it occupy a place in the field of industrial valves, heat exchangers, electronic parts and decorative architecture, etc. It has become a widely used and reliable engineering material.
