Brass Sheet and Plate
Copper-zinc alloy sheet and plate. We supply CW508L (Ms63) and CW505L (Ms70) grades in soft, half-hard and hard tempers. Sizes in stock can be supplied immediately; custom sizes can be produced to order, depending on quantity.
Grades and sizes
MS63
An unleaded brass containing about 63 % copper and 37 % zinc. It has good cold formability and is suitable for bending, blanking, deep drawing and spinning. It is easily soldered and brazed, and can be polished and plated. It is one of the most widely used brasses for pressed and deep-drawn parts, electrical connection components, radiators and decorative parts.
Sheet standard: EN 1652 · ASTM B36
MS70
An unleaded brass containing about 70 % copper and 30 % zinc. Its ductility and cold formability are among the highest of all brasses, making it suitable for more demanding deep drawing and tight-radius bending than MS63. It can be soldered, brazed and polished. Used for ammunition cases, deep-drawn cups and shells, radiator parts and precision pressings.

- Soft · Half-hard · Hard
- STANDARD SHEET SIZES
- 660 × 2000 · 660 × 3000 · 1000 × 2000 · 1000 × 3000 mm
- THICKNESS AND CUT SIZES
- 0.50–50 mm. Custom sizes are supplied from stock or produced to order, depending on size and quantity. For sheet under 5 mm thick, the minimum cut size is 1000 × 1000 mm, or 660 × 500 mm from 660 mm wide sheet.
For large-quantity orders, other cut sizes are possible.
Tempers
EN 1652 values (thickness 0.2–5 mm): material condition designation and tensile strength. For thicker plate, values are as stated on the material certificate.
| TEMPER | MS63 · CuZn37 | MS70 · CuZn30 | TYPICAL USE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soft (annealed) | R300 · 300–370 N/mm² | R270 · 270–350 N/mm² | Deep drawing, tight-radius bending |
| Half-hard | R350 · 350–440 N/mm² | R350 · 350–430 N/mm² | General purpose, blanking |
| Hard | R410 · 410–490 N/mm² | R410 · 410–490 N/mm² | Flat parts that will not be formed and require strength |

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between CW508L (Ms63) and CW505L (Ms70)?
Both are unleaded and suited to cold forming. Thanks to its higher copper content, CW505L (CuZn30, Ms70) is more ductile and is preferred for parts that require deep drawing and tight-radius bending. CW508L (CuZn37, Ms63) is the general-purpose sheet grade and is widely used for bending and blanking.
What are the designations for MS63 and MS70?
MS63: CuZn37, EN CW508L, DIN 2.0321, UNS C27200, BS CZ108. MS70: CuZn30, EN CW505L, DIN 2.0265, UNS C26000, BS CZ106. Any of these designations can be used in your enquiry; we will match the correct material.
What sizes do you supply?
Our standard sheet sizes are 660 × 2000, 660 × 3000, 1000 × 2000 and 1000 × 3000 mm. The thickness range is 0.50–50 mm. Custom sizes are supplied immediately if in stock; otherwise they are produced to order, depending on quantity.
Which temper should I choose?
Soft sheet is preferred for forming operations such as bending and deep drawing, half-hard for general-purpose use, and hard for flat parts that will not be formed and require strength. If you are unsure, simply tell us where the part will be used and we will help you choose the right temper.
Why can the invoiced weight differ from the calculated weight?
The calculator gives the theoretical weight. The actual weight varies with the thickness tolerance and cutting allowance; invoices are based on the actual weighed weight.
What information should I send for a quote?
Grade (MS63 or MS70), temper, thickness × width × length, quantity and delivery or collection point (Çorlu or İkitelli). If you fill in the calculator above, these details are added to the WhatsApp message automatically.
