The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact toughness of brass (CuZn) with five variations of pouring temperature during the production of cast-samples through a metal casting process. Five variations of the pouring temperature are 1060, 1110, 1160, 1210, and 1260 °C, respectively. Meanwhile, the mold is produced from medium carbon steel and does not preheat (room temperature). The results show the maximum impact toughness is 20,67 Joule at 1110 °C of pouring temperature, then the minimum impact toughness is 17,67 Joule at 1260 °C of pouring temperature. In general, it can be concluded that the impact toughness decreases with increasing pouring temperature.
