CuZn40Pb2: Defining Excellence in Hot Forming Technology

In the manufacturing of valves and intricate fittings, the material’s ability to flow into every corner of a mold is critical. CuZn40Pb2 (CW617N), produced with the metallurgical precision of Çorum Bronz, is specifically tailored to meet the demands of the modern forging industry. Known for its remarkable plasticity at high temperatures, it allows manufacturers to produce thin-walled, complex parts that maintain high mechanical strength.

The Forger’s Choice

The chemical composition of CW617N is carefully balanced to provide the best possible "hot-working" range. While it is optimized for the forge, the inclusion of lead (Pb) ensures that once the part is formed, any secondary machining—such as threading for a valve or boring for a pipe—is clean, fast, and tool-friendly.

  • Mold Longevity: The consistent quality of our CuZn40Pb2 reduces thermal shock and wear on your forging dies, extending their operational life.

  • Leak-Proof Integrity: Its dense, non-porous structure after forging makes it the gold standard for high-pressure gas and water systems where safety and zero-leakage are mandatory.

  • Cost-Efficient Production: High flow rates during pressing mean fewer defects and lower scrap rates, directly improving your bottom line.

Çorum Bronz provides CuZn40Pb2 in various formats, including forging rods and blanks, fully compliant with EN 12165 and EN 12164 standards. Our advanced production facility in Çorum ensures that every delivery meets the chemical and mechanical tolerances required for your most sensitive projects.
