| Standard | Region | Popular Grade | Equivalent in JIS H 5114 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Japan | ZDC1 | N/A (Unique) | | ASTM B86 | USA | AG40A | Similar to ZDC1 | | EN 12844 | Europe | ZnAl4Cu1 | Similar to ZDC2 |
Despite this consolidation, original designations such as and AlBC3 continue to be standard terminology in engineering documentation worldwide. Core Alloy Grades and Chemical Composition
If you are not in Japan, you can buy the standard from your country's standards body (e.g., ANSI in the US, DIN in Germany, or BSI in the UK). They resell JIS standards.
High yield and tensile strengths, especially in Class 3 and 4 alloys.
For current projects, you should obtain the latest version of JIS H 5120 . The official Japanese Standards Association provides an English PDF for purchase. You can find it by searching for "JIS H 5120" on the JSA Web Store. At the time of writing, the cost for the 2006 English edition was listed around $19.60.
Some institutions (university libraries, technical centers) may have free access to JIS standards via subscription.
This standard is the benchmark for brass castings used in valves, flanges, and pipe fittings in the Japanese industrial market and beyond. If you have searched for the term , you are likely looking for the official document to verify material properties, chemical compositions, or mechanical requirements.
If you are sourcing raw ingots from China or India, your supplier must provide a mill certificate proving they meet these exact numbers.
: Uniformity across Japanese and global manufacturing supply chains.
Note: Minor impurity thresholds for Zinc (Zn), Lead (Pb), and Tin (Sn) are strictly capped (typically under 0.1% to 0.5% depending on the specific grade) to safeguard the alloy's structural integrity. Mechanical Property Thresholds
: Sets minimum standards for tensile strength, elongation, and Brinell hardness. Where to Find the PDF
Designed for severe-duty load-bearing situations requiring exceptional structural yield, resistance to chemical degradation, and high-impact wear. Chemical & Mechanical Profiles
: Detailed the sampling methods and test procedures necessary to verify that the castings met chemical and physical requirements before shipment. Applications
