Detailed product overview
C84800 semi-red brass composition
C84800 bronze casting denotes UNS C84800 on this page. It is a leaded semi-red brass historically described as plumbing goods brass, with a higher zinc range than C83600 or C83800. That distinction should remain visible in material documentation even when the commercial product name uses bronze. C84800 castings are considered for fittings and general hardware where the selected alloy meets the component specification. The historical plumbing designation should never be interpreted as proof of modern drinking-water acceptance. The buyer must define the intended fluid, market and material restrictions before ordering a leaded alloy.
Threaded fittings and adapter bodies
Machined C84800 cast components may combine external flats, threaded ends, drilled bores and sealing shoulders. Adequate cast stock around thread roots supports consistent cleanup and inspection. Internal threads should be specified by standard, size and tolerance, with the sealing method identified separately. A pipe-thread adapter and a parallel-thread connector can have similar silhouettes while sealing differently. Casting review should also consider wrench loads and local wall thickness around the connection. For pressure-containing fittings, an agreed test and acceptance plan is needed in addition to chemistry verification and dimensional checks.
Hardware selection beyond appearance
General hardware can be assessed for machining response, appearance and dimensional function, but alloy selection should not be based on colour alone. C84800, C84400 and C83600 occupy different composition ranges and may appear together in a distributor catalogue. Keeping grade identity on packaging and inspection records helps avoid substitution during picking or subcontract machining. Where a customer requests an EN, BS or other national designation, the complete target specification should be reviewed rather than assigning a convenient equivalent. This page does not assert a direct international match for C84800 without that comparison.
Cast blanks, rough machining and finished parts
For c84800 components, the delivery condition changes both the manufacturing plan and the inspection scope. A cleaned casting normally retains stock for later machining, whereas a finished part must meet the specified functional dimensions. Rough machining can expose areas that need examination before final finishing. Identify where machining allowance is required and where excess material would interfere with assembly. This is particularly important for threaded fittings, plumbing hardware, adapter bodies and machined general cast components. The quotation should distinguish pattern or die work from recurring component operations, giving the buyer a clear basis for comparing prototype and repeat-order costs.
Drawing control and mating components
The drawing for c84800 parts should identify a revision, material standard, datums and critical features. A casting outline without a tolerance scheme is insufficient for a fitted component. Bores, bolt circles, sealing lands and thread positions should be dimensioned from functional references. Where several parts are assembled together, their combined tolerances may matter more than an isolated dimension. Share the mating-part requirements when they influence fit or contact. For a replacement order, record deliberate design changes separately from measurements taken from a used sample, especially where wear or previous repair has altered the original surface.

Controlled alloy chemistry
C84800 supply starts with identified charge material and a controlled specification. Ingot, approved returns and alloy additions should be kept traceable, particularly where visually similar grades are processed. A heat analysis verifies composition; it does not by itself demonstrate the quality of every cast section. The purchase order should identify the required chemistry report and any restrictions on residual elements. When remelt material is used, its suitability belongs in the foundry control plan. Retaining material identity through machining helps ensure that the finished component remains linked to its original inspection evidence.
Machined bores and bearing surfaces
Bored c84800 parts require a defined relationship between the bore, outside diameter and mounting faces. Turning a diameter to size does not automatically establish concentricity or perpendicularity. State the intended measurement condition, especially for thin sleeves or split liners that can distort under clamping. Bearing surfaces also need an appropriate finish and edge treatment. If the part is pressed into a housing, identify whether sizing occurs before or after installation. The machining and inspection sequence can then follow the functional fit instead of checking an unloaded component in an unrelated condition.
Threads, sealing lands and flange faces
Threaded c84800 components need the connection standard, gauge requirement and sealing mechanism to be stated clearly. A tapered pipe thread, a parallel thread with gasket and a metal-to-metal seat are different interfaces. Casting stock should allow full cleanup at the sealing surface without reducing wall thickness below the design requirement. Specify burr removal around intersecting holes and protect finished threads during handling. For pressure duty, dimensional acceptance and leakage testing serve different purposes. Both should be defined where necessary, along with any restrictions on repairs or post-casting treatments.
Wear parts and service compatibility
Material selection for c84800 wear parts should account for the mating surface, lubricant, contamination and operating conditions. A harder alloy is not always the better bearing choice, and lead content does not establish a maintenance-free running surface. Fluid-contact components need a separate assessment of medium, temperature and flow. Provide realistic duty information instead of a broad description such as heavy duty or corrosion resistant. This allows the component designer to decide whether the selected grade is appropriate and whether a different bronze family deserves comparison before tooling and machining are committed.
Inspection records and batch identification
Traceable c84800 parts should carry the agreed identity through casting, machining, inspection and dispatch. The required marking may be on the part, an attached tag or the packaging, depending on size and the drawing. Certificates should reference the relevant order and heat rather than an unrelated material sample. Dimensional reports are most useful when they follow a numbered drawing and identify the measuring condition. Agree whether individual or batch records are needed, and identify any witness points early. These practical details reduce uncertainty when components arrive at an OEM assembly line or project store.

Manufacturing process and casting methods
Manufacture begins with drawing review, followed by alloy and process selection, tooling preparation, melting, pouring and controlled cooling. Castings are cleaned before the agreed machining and inspection stages. The route for C84800 must reflect geometry and acceptance requirements. High-lead grades require particular attention to lead distribution; a process name alone does not guarantee uniformity or freedom from porosity.
| Process | How it works | Selection considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Investment casting | An expendable pattern forms a ceramic mold for detailed geometry | Review alloy suitability, tooling, section changes and inspection; qualify before production |
| Green sand casting | Molten alloy fills a cavity formed in moist bonded sand | Flexible for shaped parts; control cores, venting, feeding and machining stock |
| Permanent mold casting | A reusable metallic mold defines the casting cavity | Review release, thermal balance and suitability of the selected alloy |
| Shell molding (resin sand) | Resin-bonded sand forms a rigid shell mold | Evaluate repeatability, core design, cleanup and dimensional requirements |
| Centrifugal castings | Rotation distributes molten metal in cylindrical tooling | Useful enquiry route for rings and sleeves; review lead segregation and bore cleanup |
| GDC — gravity die casting | Gravity fills a reusable metal die | A permanent-mold process, not high-pressure die casting; assess geometry and volume |
After casting, turning and boring establish cylindrical datums; milling, drilling and threading create the remaining functional features. Intermediate checks can be planned before expensive finishing. Final cleaning should remove residual sand and machining debris from passages. Record any agreed repair restrictions before production. Continuous-cast stock may be considered for machined blanks when expressly ordered, but it is a different product form from the shaped casting routes listed above.
Quality standards and certification requirements
| Reference / evidence | How it applies |
|---|---|
| ASTM B584 | General copper-alloy sand casting requirements; check grade scope |
| ASTM B271/B271M | Centrifugal casting requirements for applicable copper alloys |
| ASTM B505/B505M | Continuous-cast material when that product form is ordered |
| ASTM B763/B763M | Sand castings for valve applications, subject to grade and scope |
| ASTM B62 | Composition bronze / ounce metal requirements relevant to C83600 enquiries |
| ASTM B30 | Ingot and remelt material requirements; not a finished-part certificate |
| ASTM B806 / EN 1982 | Review permanent-mold or European casting requirements as applicable |
| Inspection documents | Agree chemical, dimensional, mechanical, pressure or NDT reports |
Standards describe requirements; they do not prove that a supplier holds a particular certification. State any required quality-system certificate, independent inspection or project approval in the enquiry. Certification scope and current documents must be confirmed before making an acceptance decision. These leaded alloys should not be represented as lead-free or automatically compliant with every end-use restriction. Tests, sampling and acceptance criteria should match the actual C84800 component and order.

Frequently asked questions
What does this product range include?
C84800 Bronze Casting and Machined Cast Components covers drawing-based supply of threaded fittings, plumbing hardware, adapter bodies and machined general cast components. Buyers can specify cast blanks or finished machining. The quotation should identify the alloy, manufacturing route, dimensions and acceptance requirements so that the supplied part matches the intended assembly.
How should I specify the alloy?
C84800 should appear with the applicable product standard and drawing revision. CDA 848 / plumbing goods brass; No direct EN/BS match asserted; Grade-specific approval required. Trade names and international comparison grades do not remove the need to verify chemistry, mechanical requirements and product form.
Which casting processes can be considered?
Investment casting, green sand casting, permanent mold casting, shell molding (resin sand), centrifugal castings and gravity die casting (GDC) can be evaluated. GDC is a form of permanent-mold casting. Suitability depends on alloy, geometry, quantity and required soundness; not every process is offered for every part.
Can the parts be supplied fully machined?
Yes, enquiries can include turning, boring, milling, drilling, threading and specified groove machining. Provide datums, final tolerances, surface finish and the condition in which dimensions are measured. The agreed quotation defines the actual machining operations, inspection coverage and any features left as-cast.
What is the price per kilogram?
The listed rate is US$ 17.90/kg. Confirm the weight basis and whether tooling, machining, testing, packing, freight and taxes are included in the quotation. An approved drawing and quantity allow the commercial scope to be matched to the component instead of comparing rates for different supply conditions.
Are international grades directly interchangeable?
Some designations identify the same alloy family, while others are only approximate comparisons. Different limits for tin, lead, zinc or residual elements can prevent dual compliance. Check the full standards, casting route and required properties, and obtain design approval before replacing the material specified on an existing drawing.
Are leaded bronze parts suitable for every water or electrical application?
No. Lead content and end-use restrictions must be considered for the intended market and equipment. A leaded alloy is not automatically suitable for drinking-water service. Current-carrying parts also require electrical assessment; a bronze material certificate alone does not establish contact resistance, temperature rise or an assembly rating.
What inspection documents can be requested?
An order can specify heat-linked chemical analysis, dimensional reports and agreed mechanical or non-destructive examinations. Pressure tests and microstructure checks should be defined where relevant. Establish sampling, acceptance criteria and witness requirements before production so that the necessary test pieces and manufacturing hold points can be planned.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Send the drawing revision, C84800 requirement, quantity, estimated weight, casting and machining scope, service conditions and delivery destination. Include mandatory testing, marking and packaging requirements. For replacement parts, identify which dimensions come from an approved drawing and which were measured from a worn sample.
