Abstract

Brass is widely used in the machine industry, automotive, shipbuilding, construction, metalworking industries, as well as in the production of fittings. Certain types of brass, despite the almost identical chemical composition and the same form resulting from the standards, e.g. sheets of a certain thickness, often differ in performance, e.g. mechanical properties. The presented work compares selected mechanical properties of CuZn39Pb2 brass sheets from different manufacturers.
