Material Type: Spring Brass, CA260
Material Group: Copper Base Alloy Strip
CA260 (260 brass) custom springs provide reliable performance for applications requiring good corrosion resistance and consistent mechanical properties. This copper-zinc alloy is commonly used in spring manufacturing where durability is needed but higher-cost copper-based alloys are not required.
Ideal for a wide range of industrial and mechanical uses, 260 brass springs are valued for their formability, strength, and resistance to corrosion in moderate environments. They are often specified for custom spring applications where dependable performance and cost efficiency are both important.
Available in custom configurations, CA260 brass springs offer a practical solution for specialized designs across multiple industries.
