Naval Brass Tags: Built for Strength, Durability, and Corrosion Resistance
When your environment demands metal identification that can withstand salt, heat, and high stress, Naval Brass Tags are a smart, long-lasting choice.
Crafted from C46400 Naval Brass, these tags deliver exceptional performance in marine, industrial, and outdoor applications where ordinary brass may fail.
What Is Naval Brass (C46400)?
Naval Brass, also known as C46400 alloy, is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant blend of 60% copper, 39.25% zinc, and 0.75% tin.
By substituting a small amount of tin for zinc, this alloy achieves superior resistance to seawater corrosion and protection against dezincification — the process that can weaken standard brass over time.
This makes C46400 ideal for use in environments exposed to moisture, saltwater, and elevated temperatures, offering exceptional rigidity, wear resistance, and long-term structural integrity.
Why Choose Naval Brass Tags?
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Designed to resist seawater, steam, and chemical exposure.
- Enhanced Strength & Rigidity: Provides better mechanical strength than standard brass tags.
- Long Service Life: Resists fatigue, galling, and stress corrosion cracking even in harsh conditions.
- Versatile Identification Options: Perfect for valves, pumps, equipment labeling, and marine assets.
