UNS C44400 Admiralty Brass (Antimonial): Tubesheets, Forgings and Plate to ASTM B171

Technical datasheet published by Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd., open-die forging factory, Jiangyin, Jiangsu, China. Last reviewed .

UNS C44400 is antimonial admiralty brass: a 70/30 copper-zinc alloy containing 70.0 to 73.0 % copper, 0.8 to 1.2 % tin and 0.02 to 0.10 % antimony, with zinc as the balance. Tin raises general corrosion resistance. Antimony inhibits dezincification. C44400 is one of three inhibited admiralty grades, alongside C44300 (arsenic) and C44500 (phosphorus). ASTM B171/B171M and ASME SB-171 cover it as plate, sheet and circles for condenser tube plates, heat exchangers and pressure vessels. Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. forges C44400 tubesheets, baffles and related components to that specification.

Classification

C44400 is a copper alloy, not an alloy steel. It sits in the Alloy Steel section of this site for URL history reasons. Metallurgically it belongs with the wrought copper-zinc-tin (tin brass) alloys of the CDA C4xxxx series.

1. What is UNS C44400 admiralty brass?

Admiralty brass is 70/30 cartridge brass with roughly 1 % tin added. Tin improves resistance to corrosion in fresh water, brackish water and clean sea water, which is what made the alloy standard for naval and power station condensers from the nineteenth century onward.

Plain 70/30 brass dezincifies. Zinc leaches out selectively and leaves porous copper behind with no useful strength. A few hundredths of one percent of arsenic, antimony or phosphorus suppresses the reaction. Which inhibitor is used is what separates the three admiralty grades.

Table 1. The three inhibited admiralty brass grades
UNSNameInhibitorRangeNotes
C44300Admiralty, arsenicalArsenic0.02 to 0.06 %ASTM B111 default, the most widely stocked grade

C44500Admiralty, phosphorizedPhosphorus0.02 to 0.10 %Least common of the three

All three share the same Cu 70.0 to 73.0 %, Sn about 1 %, Zn balance. Dezincification resistance is comparable between them.

Ordering

An enquiry that says only "admiralty brass" will be quoted as C44300, the arsenical grade. C44400 has to appear on the purchase order together with the governing specification: ASTM B171 for plate and tubesheets, ASTM B111 for tube.

2. Designations, standards and equivalents

UNS C44400 appears in the following ASTM and ASME specifications, by product form.

International equivalents

No EN, BS, JIS or GB number matches the antimony-inhibited grade exactly. The designations usually quoted as equivalents for admiralty brass all specify arsenic, so they correspond to C44300 rather than C44400.

Substitution risk

Accepting CuZn28Sn1As, CZ111 or HSn70-1 against a C44400 line item gets you arsenical material. Where antimony inhibition is a real requirement, for example where an end user restricts arsenic, the order has to read UNS C44400 to ASTM B171 and the mill certificate has to report an antimony result.

3. Chemical composition of UNS C44400

The limits below are those given for C44400 in the Copper Development Association alloy database and carried in ASTM B171/B171M and ASTM B111/B111M. Values are percent by weight.

Table 4. UNS C44400 chemical composition limits, weight percent

CopperCu70.073.0Matrix, corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity
TinSn0.81.2General corrosion resistance, strengthens the alpha phase
AntimonySb0.020.10Dezincification inhibitor, the defining element of C44400
LeadPbn/a0.07Residual, capped to protect hot workability
IronFen/a0.06Residual
ZincZnBalance, about 28 %Solid solution strengthening, cost

Cu plus the sum of named elements: 99.6 % min. For tubular products the minimum tin content may be taken as 0.9 %. Heat-typical composition is Cu 71 %, Zn 28 %, Sn 1 %.

Antimony content

At 0.02 to 0.10 % the antimony has no measurable effect on strength or conductivity. It segregates to the alpha grain structure and blocks the redeposition step of the dezincification reaction. Below 0.02 % the alloy behaves like uninhibited 70/30 brass in aggressive water. A certificate for C44400 that carries no antimony result has not demonstrated conformance.

4. Mechanical properties of UNS C44400

Admiralty brass has moderate strength and very high ductility. Properties depend heavily on temper and product form. The values below are room temperature typicals at 20 °C (68 °F).

Published creep data

Creep figures for admiralty brass measured at 425 °C circulate widely in online property databases. They are laboratory data points, not design values. Admiralty brass is not a 425 °C material. Section 6 gives the real service envelope.

Thermal conductivity of 110 W/m·K is the commercial case for admiralty brass in condensers. It is roughly three times that of 70/30 copper-nickel and about seven times that of austenitic stainless steel, so a condenser tubed and plated in C44400 moves the same heat duty through less surface area.

6. Corrosion behaviour and service limits

Where C44400 works

  • Clean sea water, brackish water and fresh water at moderate velocity, typically up to about 1.8 m/s (6 ft/s), where a stable protective film forms.
  • Dezincification resistance, which is the point of the inhibitor.
  • Pitting resistance in those same waters, better than uninhibited brass.
  • Steam side condensate service in surface condensers and feedwater heaters.

Where it must not be used

Table 8. Service conditions that rule out admiralty brass
ConditionFailure modeUsual alternative
Ammonia, amines, ammonium compoundsStress corrosion cracking. Brass is acutely susceptible.C70600 or C71500 copper-nickel, or titanium
Polluted or sulphide-bearing waterAccelerated general attack and pitting. The protective film does not form.C71500, titanium, super-austenitic stainless

Service above about 200 °CDezincification rate climbs, strength fallsCopper-nickel, or carbon and low-alloy steel
Residual tensile stress left unrelievedSeason cracking in serviceStress relief anneal, verified by ASTM B154 or B858
Temperature envelope

Treat 200 °C (400 °F) as the working ceiling for C44400 in pressure service. Above roughly 230 to 260 °C the dezincification rate rises sharply. Check the allowable stress and maximum temperature for SB-171 C44400 in the current edition of ASME BPVC Section II, Part D before setting a design temperature.

Galvanic compatibility

C44400 sits close to the copper-nickels in the galvanic series in sea water and well away from carbon steel. A C44400 tubesheet with C44400 or C44300 tubes is a common and sound arrangement. A carbon steel shell flanged to a brass tubesheet needs an insulating gasket arrangement or a sacrificial anode, because the steel becomes anodic and wastes. Do not bolt admiralty brass directly to aluminium or zinc-rich components in a wetted assembly.

7. Forging, forming, machining and joining

Hot and cold working

ASTM B171 allows plate and circles to be produced by hot rolling or by forging, then finished by cold working and annealing to the required dimensions and properties. Open-die forging is therefore a route the specification recognises, and for thick or large-diameter tubesheets it is often the only practical one.

The alloy cold works well and hot forms only fairly. The hot working window is narrow, 649 to 788 °C (1200 to 1450 °F). Above it zinc volatilises and the lead and iron residuals promote hot shortness. Below it forging loads climb and the alpha phase tears. Holding that window across a large forged disc is the main process risk in making a sound C44400 tubesheet, and it is why forging admiralty brass is a different job from forging steel.

Stress relief

Brasses season crack. Any C44400 component that has been cold formed, straightened, drilled in a dense pattern or heavily machined needs a low temperature stress relief anneal, demonstrated by the mercurous nitrate test (ASTM B154) or the ammonia vapour test (ASTM B858). ASTM B111 calls for residual stress testing on C44300, C44400 and C44500 specifically.

Machining and tubesheet drilling

Machinability rating is 30 against free-cutting brass C36000 at 100. The alloy is gummy rather than free cutting. For tubesheet work that means:

  • Sharp, high positive rake tooling and plenty of coolant. Dull tools smear the surface and work harden it.
  • Peck drill deep tube holes. Chips are stringy and pack readily in a 25 to 50 mm plate.
  • Rough, stress relieve, then finish machine. Drilling several thousand holes redistributes residual stress, and a plate machined in one pass will not hold flatness.
  • Tube hole tolerance and groove geometry to TEMA R, C or B as specified. Ligament tolerance is what governs whether the expanded joint is sound.

Joining

Table 9. Joining process suitability for UNS C44400
ProcessSuitabilityComment

BrazingExcellentSilver brazing alloys. Watch overheating and zinc loss.

Butt welding, spot weldingGoodResistance processes are acceptable
Gas shielded arc weldingFairZinc volatilises from the pool, giving porosity and inhibitor loss
Coated metal arc weldingNot recommendedn/a
Seam weldingNot recommendedn/a

In heat exchangers this means admiralty brass tube-to-tubesheet joints are roller expanded, not seal welded. Where the design calls for a welded tube joint, a carbon steel or copper-nickel tubesheet with a compatible weld overlay is usually a better answer than solid C44400. We build both.

8. UNS C44400 products we manufacture

Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. is an open-die forging factory at No.1 Chengxiqiao Road, Zhouzhuang Town, Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province, China. We manufacture the following components in UNS C44400 antimonial admiralty brass to ASTM B171 and ASME SB-171, and in the sister grades C44300 and C44500 on request.

Tubesheets and tube plates

Fixed, stationary, front, rear and floating tubesheets for surface condensers, feedwater heaters and shell-and-tube exchangers. Drilled and grooved to TEMA.

Baffles and support plates

Segmental, double segmental and disc-and-doughnut baffles, tie rods and spacer tubes, matched to the tubesheet drilling pattern.

Clad and weld overlay tubesheets

Copper-alloy cladding and weld overlay on carbon or low-alloy steel backing, to ASTM B432 for clad plate, where a welded tube joint or a lower cost is required.

Forged discs, blocks and circles

Open-die forged discs, blanks and circles cut from forged plate. This is the route for thicknesses and diameters not available as rolled plate.

Seamless rolled rings and flanges

Forged and seamless rolled rings, flange blanks, hubs and housings in copper alloy and across our steel and nickel-alloy range.

Bars, hollow bars, sleeves and bushings

Round bar, hollow bar, forged sleeves, bushes, barrels, casings, shells and cylinders machined to drawing.

Why forging suits large tubesheets

Rolled C44400 plate becomes hard to source above modest thickness and diameter. Forging from a cast billet, followed by the hot rolled and annealed condition that ASME BPVC service requires, closes porosity, refines grain and gives through-thickness properties in sizes a rolling mill will not quote.

We supply the same component set in carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel and nickel alloys including Inconel 625, Incoloy 825 and Hastelloy C-276. A complete exchanger package, shell side steel forgings and water side copper-alloy tubesheets, can therefore be placed with one supplier.

9. C44400 against other tubesheet alloys

Material selection for a condenser tubesheet is a trade between heat transfer, water quality, velocity and cost. The table below is the short version of that argument.

Velocity figures are common industry design guidelines for continuously wetted tube side service, not code limits. They assume clean water and correct inlet end protection. Tensile values are annealed or hot rolled typicals.

Selection summary

  • Fresh or clean sea water, moderate velocity, cost sensitive: C44400 or C44300.
  • Same water but higher velocity: C68700 aluminium brass.
  • Polluted, sulphide-bearing or ammonia-contaminated water: C70600 or C71500.
  • Welded tube-to-tubesheet joints mandated: copper-nickel, or steel with weld overlay.
  • Arsenic restricted by end user policy: C44400 specifically, not C44300.

12. Frequently asked questions about UNS C44400

What is UNS C44400?

UNS C44400 is antimonial admiralty brass. It is a 70/30 copper-zinc alloy containing 70.0 to 73.0 % copper, 0.8 to 1.2 % tin and 0.02 to 0.10 % antimony, with zinc as the balance. Tin raises general corrosion resistance and antimony inhibits dezincification. ASTM B171/B171M and ASME SB-171 cover the alloy as plate, sheet and circles for pressure vessels, condensers and heat exchangers.

What is the difference between C44300, C44400 and C44500?

The three grades share the same 70/30 copper-zinc base and about 1 % tin. Only the dezincification inhibitor differs. C44300 uses arsenic at 0.02 to 0.06 %, C44400 uses antimony at 0.02 to 0.10 % and C44500 uses phosphorus at 0.02 to 0.10 %. Corrosion performance is close enough that the choice is normally settled by the purchase specification, plant precedent or a restriction on arsenic. C44300 is the ASTM B111 default, so an order for C44400 has to state the grade.

Which standard covers C44400 tubesheets?

ASTM B171/B171M, issued by ASME as SB-171, covers copper-alloy plate, sheet and circles for pressure vessels, condensers and heat exchangers. It is the governing specification for C44400 condenser tube plates. The standard allows manufacture by hot rolling or by forging. Material for ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code service must be certified in the hot rolled and annealed temper.

Can C44400 tubesheets be forged rather than rolled?

Yes. ASTM B171 allows plate and circles to be produced by forging as well as by hot rolling, then finished by cold working and annealing to the required dimensions and properties. Forging is the usual route for thick or large-diameter tubesheets that are not available as rolled plate. Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. produces C44400 tubesheets and circles by open-die forging at its plant in Jiangyin, Jiangsu, China.

What is the maximum service temperature of C44400 admiralty brass?

Admiralty brass is a low temperature alloy. Service is normally held to about 200 °C or 400 °F. Above roughly 230 to 260 °C the dezincification rate climbs sharply and mechanical properties fall away. Check the allowable stress and temperature limit for SB-171 C44400 in the current edition of ASME BPVC Section II, Part D before setting a design temperature. Creep data published at 425 °C is a laboratory data point, not a design value.

Is C44400 resistant to seawater?

C44400 performs well in clean seawater, brackish water and fresh water at moderate flow, typically up to about 1.8 m/s, where a protective film forms and stays put. It is not suited to polluted or sulphide-bearing water, to high velocity or turbulent flow that causes impingement attack, or to service exposed to ammonia or amines, which crack brass. Those conditions normally call for 90/10 copper-nickel C70600 or 70/30 copper-nickel C71500.

How is C44400 welded?

C44400 solders and brazes excellently and is rated good for oxyacetylene welding. It is only fair for gas shielded arc welding and is not recommended for coated metal arc welding, because zinc volatilises from the weld pool and the inhibitor content is disturbed. Tube-to-tubesheet joints in admiralty brass are therefore roller expanded rather than seal welded. Where a welded joint is required, a steel or copper-nickel tubesheet with a compatible weld overlay is normally the better choice.

Does C44400 have a European or Japanese equivalent?

No EN or JIS number matches the antimony-inhibited grade exactly. The designations usually quoted for admiralty brass, CuZn28Sn1As and CW706R under EN, CZ111 under BS 2871, C4430 under JIS H3300 and HSn70-1 under GB/T, all specify arsenic as the inhibitor and correspond to UNS C44300. Where antimony inhibition is required, order to UNS C44400 and state ASTM B171 or ASTM B111 on the purchase order.

What certification is supplied with C44400 material?

C44400 orders are normally released against an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate covering chemical analysis, tensile and elongation results, temper, heat number and a dimensional report. EN 10204 3.2 certification with third-party inspection by SGS, TÜV, BV, DNV or Lloyd's Register can be arranged. ASTM B171 and B111 also call for a residual stress test on the inhibited admiralty grades, by mercurous nitrate test ASTM B154 or ammonia vapour test ASTM B858.
