H62 Brass Density
The theoretical density of H62 brass, based on its nominal composition (≈62% Cu, 38% Zn), is:
8.43 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)
or
8430 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³)
or
0.305 pounds per cubic inch (lb/in³)
Key Characteristics of H62 Brass:
Copper Content: 62%, providing a more yellow-gold color and slightly enhancing its strength compared to H59 brass.
Zinc Content: Around 36%, which gives the alloy its hardness but at the cost of slightly reducing its overall corrosion resistance.
Lead Content: 2%, which improves machinability and makes it much easier to cut and shape into complex forms.
Corrosion Resistance: While H62 brass provides solid corrosion resistance, it is not as effective in extreme environments, particularly in marine or damp conditions, when compared to H59 brass.
Machinability: A standout feature of H62 brass is its remarkable machinability. The addition of lead allows manufacturers to produce a wide variety of components with high precision and at a faster rate.
Strength: H62 is softer and has lower tensile strength compared to H59 brass, which means it is more suitable for parts that do not require high levels of stress resistance.
Common Applications of H62 Brass:
Machined Components: H62 is widely used in manufacturing small, intricate parts such as screws, bolts, nuts, and threaded components due to its superior machinability.
Furniture and Decorative Items: Its attractive yellow-gold color and ease of shaping make it ideal for producing decorative fittings, handles, and trim pieces.
Plumbing and Electrical Fittings: It is used in manufacturing various plumbing and electrical components that are not exposed to extremely harsh conditions.
Automotive Components: Parts such as fittings and small mechanical components in the automotive industry are often made using H62 brass due to its combination of ease of machining and acceptable mechanical properties.

Our factory
Our modern production base is equipped with advanced full-process production lines dedicated to the manufacturing of copper and copper alloy products. The factory features precision smelting, continuous casting, high-pressure extrusion, high-speed rolling, and precision cutting equipment, ensuring strict control over every step from copper ingot to finished product. We possess strong R&D and customization capabilities, enabling us to produce various specifications and tempers of copper tubes, plates, rods, wires, and ultra-thin foils in accordance with international standards (such as ASTM, EN, JIS) and specific customer requirements. Our products are widely used in various industries, including refrigeration, electronics, power, transportation, and construction.
Copper product packaging
We fully understand that secure packaging is essential for the flawless delivery of products. Tailored to the characteristics of different products, we employ customized professional packaging solutions: copper tubes and rods are typically secured with anti-rust inner liners and sturdy wooden crates or iron-frame boxes to prevent impact and deformation during transit; copper plates, strips, and foils are first covered with protective film, placed in a dry environment, wrapped with waterproof paper and moisture-proof materials, and finally packed into reinforced plywood crates or steel coil boxes to effectively resist moisture and mechanical damage; wires are neatly wound onto wooden or steel reels and firmly strapped. All packaging is clearly labeled and compliant with export standards, ensuring that your goods maintain their excellent factory condition even after long-distance sea transportation and multiple handlings.
