AB The CuZn10 alloy, a prominent brass variant known for its excellent cold formability, corrosion resistance, and suitability for various cold forming processes such as bending and stamping, finds widespread application across numerous industries. Optimizing its performance for specific industrial demands necessitates a thorough understanding of how different preparation technologies influence its intrinsic properties. This study provides a comprehensive examination into the impact of various processing routes on both the structural evolution and mechanical characteristics of deep-drawing CuZn10 brass. Utilizing advanced analytical techniques, including Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) analysis, the research systematically investigates microstructural changes, grain orientation, and texture development resulting from distinct manufacturing processes. The findings delineate clear correlations between specific preparation methodologies and the resulting mechanical properties, such as hardness, strength, and ductility. This work aims to establish a foundational understanding that can guide industrial practitioners in selecting optimal processing technologies to tailor CuZn10 alloy for enhanced performance and efficiency in its diverse applications. The insights gained are critical for refining manufacturing protocols and improving material quality in an industrial context.
