Properties of Brass C26000
Brass C26000, also called cartridge brass, is a copper-zinc alloy valued for its combination of appearance and workability. Its warm golden colour makes it a popular choice for premium signage, plaques and decorative components, while its excellent formability allows bending and forming after laser cutting.
For laser cutting brass, C26000 produces detailed profiles and clean cut-outs suitable for nameplates, decorative panels, inlays and branded hardware. Because brass can show heat tint depending on thickness and surface finish, cosmetic parts may benefit from protective film, orientation notes, or post-cleaning to achieve the best final appearance.
