For copper plate this material, the industry is very familiar with. This material has good mechanical properties and good plasticity in hot state, acceptable plasticity in cold state, strong machinability, easy fiber welding and welding, excellent corrosion resistance, low price, so it can be used in many scenarios.

One of the three characteristics of copper plate is room temperature structure. Common brass is a binary alloy of copper and zinc, and the zinc content varies greatly. As a result, its room temperature structure is quite different. There are also three room temperature structures of brass. The microstructure of brasses with zinc content less than 35% at room temperature is composed of single-phase A solid solution, which is called A brass. Brasses with zinc content in the 36% to 46% range have a two-phase a+b microstructure at room temperature and are called a+b brasses. Brasses with zinc content of more than 46% to 50% have a microstructure composed of B phase at room temperature and are called B brasses.

The mechanical properties of copper plate are also different from other metals. For brass, the mechanical properties are improved with the increase of zinc content. For a+b brass, room temperature strength increases until the zinc content increases to about 45%. If the zinc content of the copper plate is further increased, the strength will be drastically reduced due to the more brittle R phase in the alloy structure.
