The brass clad steel has good ductility and corrosion resistance, suitable for shallow drawing, flat stamping, and bending. This type of metal composite material can clad one side or both sides and be used in fields where plating items cannot meet requirements, or where pure non-ferrous metals are expensive and have poor processability.
