After machining, brass parts are often annealed (softened) for subsequent bending, swaging or crimping. A partial anneal
down to 60±10 RB is recommended for 90° bends, a full anneal down to 35±15 RB is recommended for pins or terminals
that are swaged (riveted) to a circuit board or crimped to a wire.
†RoHS-2 directive 2011/65/EU, exemption 6c allows up to 4% lead as an alloy agent in copper.
*International Annealed Copper Standard, i.e. as a % of pure copper.
