Introduction
Copper, a reddish brown metal, is found in many products that surround us. Wires, door knobs, taps, decorative items, coins, jewelry etc contain copper or its alloys. Its remarkable properties of thermal and electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance have made this metal an essential material in numerous sectors.
When copper is alloyed with other elements, its properties are improved to suit specific applications. UNS C98200 is a leaded casting copper alloy. The following datasheet discusses the chemical composition and properties of copper UNS C98200.
