COPPER ALLOY 230 Red Brass
Often referred to as Alloy 230 Red Brass it has excellent resistance against dezincification, season cracking and pitting. Copper Alloy 230 is composed of 85% copper and 15% zinc. With its inherent rich color, it has become an extremely popular metal used for both outdoor and for adding architectural details.
Comet Metals Inc presently stocks Copper Foil and Copper Sheet metal in thicknesses of 0.004 to 0.100 inches in a variety of tempers. Our slitting capabilities range from the narrowest of 3/8th inch wide on all items and as wide as 36 inches wide in certain foil gauges. In most cases, our Copper stock is 24 inches wide on all other gauges. Our current inventory stocks the Cooper Alloy 230 and a few oxygen-free alloys as well.
