CW508L / CZ108HH is a high purity cold forming brass. It is used when severe bending properties are required. It can be machined but only with slow speeds and very light feeds. Often used for general purpose applications and forming operations when very good bending properties are required. Also offers very good general corrosion resistance in many natural atmospheres, a reasonable machinability and good cold heading properties Used for a variety of decorative components as well as general components such as heat exchangers, lamp caps, lamp-holder and switch components, general copper-smithing work, chains, eyelets, fasteners, hinges, locks, instrument covers and blanked articles such as instrument plates and wheels.
