Know Your C260 Brass Properties Before Tooling
For C26000 stamping, confirm the complete stock specification before you choose the forming route. A nominal 70/30 name does not set your strip temper, bend limit or final contact requirement.

Compare Before Changing Your Brass Grade
| Comparison | Your approval input |
|---|---|
| C260 vs C360 brass | Keep forming and chip-machining requirements distinct; review the complete material specification. |
| C260 vs C268 brass | Confirm chemistry, temper, product form and the actual forming requirement. |
| Cartridge brass / C260 | Nominal naming does not define thickness, supplied state or final acceptance. |
A similar colour or common name does not approve substitution. Obtain drawing-authority approval before changing stock.

Answers Before You Specify C260
What temper C260 brass for stamping should I specify?
Define the exact product standard, thickness, rolling direction and final part function, then agree the supplied state through a forming trial. There is no single temper choice for every terminal, clip and drawn enclosure.
Can C260 brass be deep drawn?
Producer references describe C260 / CuZn30 as a cold-forming material, but your depth, wall shape, thickness and state determine the actual drawing review. Agree the trial and full route before promising a finished enclosure.
What should I review for C260 brass stamping cracks?
Review supplied temper, rolling direction, bend transitions, edge quality and the operation sequence against the actual geometry. Record first-sample acceptance; do not treat a material name as a guarantee against cracking.
How should I define C260 brass bend radius?
State the required inside radius, actual thickness, bend direction relative to rolling and final angle. Apply the producer reference relevant to the ordered material and verify your tooling trial; no universal minimum is quoted.
C260 vs C360 brass: can I use the same forming route?
Do not assume interchangeability. Compare full chemistry, supplied condition and forming requirement with the actual finished function. A material suited to chip machining does not automatically meet your stamping route.
C260 vs C268 brass: what needs confirmation?
Confirm the exact grade, product standard, stock state and acceptance of the final formed geometry. Similar names and appearance do not approve a change to your purchase specification.
How much does C260 brass stamping cost?
Your C260 brass stamping quote depends on usable strip, blank layout, tooling and setup, forming stages, trial and repeat quantities, finish and inspection scope. For your C260 brass stamping manufacturer review, compare the same drawing and final requirement.
Is cartridge brass C260?
C26000 is commonly called cartridge brass or nominal 70/30 brass. Specify UNS C26000 and the full ordered product requirement; the common name alone does not set temper or guarantee the performance of your formed part.
