Introduction
Copper and its alloys are some of the most versatile materials available for use in every type of industry. Reports state that the global consumption of copper and its alloys exceeds 14 million t/yr.
Copper is comparatively easier to alloy than many other metals. Its properties are strengthened and improved when alloyed to match specific environments and applications. UNS C98400 is a leaded casting copper alloy. The following datasheet discusses the chemical composition and properties of copper UNS C98400.
