Introduction to C2680 Brass Strip
What Is C2680 Brass and Why Is It Widely Specified?
C2680 brass strip is commonly specified by manufacturers that require reliable copper-alloy strip supply for precision processing. At Fullgreat Metal, brass strip can be supplied with customized thickness, width, temper, surface finish, and protective film to support different production requirements.
Because exact alloy data must match the applicable standard and order specification, chemical composition, mechanical requirements, and dimensional tolerances should be confirmed through the agreed specification and Mill Test Certificate (MTC). Our precision processing supports tight tolerance control, with selected precision items controlled down to ±0.01 mm.

Elongation and Formability Characteristics
Elongation is important where brass strip stamping, bending, or deep forming is required. Softer material conditions generally support more demanding forming operations, while harder tempers prioritize higher stiffness.
For reliable production, we align the brass temper with:
- Stamping depth and bend radius
- Progressive die speed
- Part geometry and edge condition
- Required strength after forming
- Surface quality requirements
Our precision slitting process is designed to provide clean edges without camber or burrs, helping reduce issues during high-speed manufacturing.
Hardness Ranges Across Different Tempers
Brass strip hardness depends on the selected temper. We can customize hardness to suit applications that require easier forming, balanced stamping performance, or increased rigidity.
| Temper Requirement | Typical Production Focus |
|---|---|
| Soft condition | Improved forming and bending performance |
| Medium condition | Balanced strength and formability |
| Hard condition | Greater stiffness for precision components |
We confirm C2680 brass strip hardness, temper, thickness, width, and surface requirements as part of the order specification. This approach helps ensure the strip performs consistently in hardware accessories, automotive components, appliance parts, and other precision manufacturing applications.
C2680 Brass Strip Temper and Hardness Options
C2680 brass strip properties depend on the selected brass temper, thickness, width, and processing requirements. We support customized hardness and precision slitting for brass strip applications that require reliable dimensional control and clean edges.
| Temper | General Use Focus | Key Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Soft (M) | Forming and bending | Better suited to parts with more demanding forming steps |
| Half-hard (Y2) | Stamping and formed parts | Balances forming capability with added strength |
| Hard (Y) | Stiff components | Selected where greater rigidity is required |
Soft (M) Temper: Forming Performance
Soft (M) temper C2680 brass strip is typically specified for parts that need bending, drawing, or more complex forming. It is a practical choice for manufacturers seeking consistent processing during stamping and forming operations.
We can match the strip thickness, width, surface finish, and packaging format to the production process.
Half-Hard (Y2) Temper: Stamping Balance
Half-hard (Y2) brass strip provides a middle-ground temper option for many brass strip stamping applications. It is commonly considered where the part needs both workable forming performance and greater stiffness than a soft temper.
For repeat production, confirm the required hardness condition together with dimensional tolerance and edge requirements.
Hard (Y) Temper: Higher Stiffness
Hard (Y) temper C2680 brass strip is selected when higher stiffness is more important than extensive forming. It can be suitable for stamped hardware, formed components, and other parts requiring a firmer material condition.
Hardness requirements should always be confirmed against the actual part design, tooling method, and forming sequence.
Selecting the Right Brass Temper
The right C2680 brass strip temper should be based on the production process rather than the alloy name alone. Key items to define include:
- Part geometry: Simple flat parts, bends, or deeper formed shapes
- Processing method: Stamping, bending, forming, or progressive die work
- Required rigidity: The final part’s need for stiffness
- Dimensional control: Thickness, width, and tolerance requirements
- Surface and edge condition: Finish, protective film, and burr-control needs
We provide custom brass strip processing with selectable hardness, precision slitting, and tailored packaging to support global manufacturing requirements.
