Product Description
Product Overview

ASTM B111 UNS C68700 aluminum brass tube, also designated CuZn20Al2 (CuZn20Al2As in EN 12451 / JIS H3300 C6870 / BS 2871 CN110 nomenclature), is a seamless copper–zinc–aluminum alloy heat exchanger tube engineered for continuous duty in aggressive cooling-water service. Its nominal chemistry of approximately 76–79% copper, 1.8–2.5% aluminum and a controlled arsenic addition of 0.02–0.06% to inhibit dezincification allows the alloy to develop a thin, self-repairing aluminum oxide film across both the inner and outer surfaces, which gives it outstanding resistance to seawater, brackish water, chloride-bearing cooling media and impingement attack at elevated flow velocities. We can supply ASTM B111/ASME SB111 copper alloy tube with different temper such as O60 annealed, H55 light drawn, H80 hard drawn.

Material Designation GB/T 8890 ASTM B111 BS 2871 JIS H3300 DIN 1785
Aluminum Brass HAL77-2 UNS C68700 CZ110 C6870T CuZn20Al2
Choose C68700 if: High water flow rates (>2 m/s), turbulent seawater, elevated temperatures, or power plant/heat exchanger tube applications are involved.
C44300 (Admiralty) vs. C68700 (Aluminum Brass)
  1. Composition: C44300 = Cu-Zn-Sn-As (tin-based); C68700 = Cu-Zn-Al-As (aluminum-based).
  2. Strength: C68700 is approximately 20–30% stronger (higher tensile and yield strength).
  3. Corrosion Resistance: C68700 offers far superior resistance to erosion, impingement attack (high-velocity seawater), and stress corrosion cracking. C44300 performs well in general seawater but is softer.
  4. Fabrication: C44300 has better cold workability — easier for bending, flaring, and tight-radius forming.
