C41100 Copper Plate is a leaded brass sheet whose main components include copper, zinc and lead. This material is known for its excellent machinability, and the presence of lead allows it to perform well in machining processes such as cutting, drilling and tapping, reducing tool wear and increasing machining efficiency. In addition, C41100 copper sheet has good corrosion resistance, making it particularly suitable for applications in fresh water and atmospheric environments, such as pipe fittings and valves.
In addition to excellent machinability and corrosion resistance, C41100 copper sheet also has high electrical and thermal conductivity. Although the addition of lead slightly reduces these properties, the material still meets the needs of many industrial applications, such as electrical connectors and heat sinks. Taken together, C41100 copper sheet is a very practical and efficient choice for a wide range of engineering and manufacturing applications.
