View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.Copper Alloy No. 862 is a copper-zinc-aluminum-manganese-iron alloy; aluminum is the principal strengthening element. It is classified as a high-strength yellow brass; its typical tensile strength is 95,000 psi. It has an excellent combination of strength and ductility along with good resistance to corrosion. Its numerous applications include cams, valve stems and marine hardware.
