H70 brass wire mesh (C260 brass wire mesh) is one of the most used brass alloys in the industrial wire cloth world. As its common industry name suggests, H70 brass is comprised of 70% copper and 30% zinc, with small additions of lead (0.035%) and iron (0.025%). When compared to copper wire cloth, C260 brass wire cloth possesses much better abrasion resistance, hardness, and tensile strength; it also exhibits improved corrosion resistance and lower electrical conductivity. As a higher zinc content results in a stronger, more ductile brass material, H70 brass is stronger and more ductile than 80-20 low brass, but weaker and less ductile than H65 brass and 60-40 muntz brass. In comparison to phosphor bronzes, C260 brass is a softer material.
