Product Description • C37700 • CuZn39Pb2

CZ122 is classed as a stamping brass with excellent hot


forming properties and high machinability. With these Corrosion Resistance
characteristics, this particular alloy is used extensively in
the production of more complex hot pressed components. Good.
The material is mainly supplied as bar for forging stock
although it is also free machining - the sheet equivalent of Weldability
CZ122 is CZ120.
