Introduction to the main components of brass

Oct 13, 2022

1, copper is composed of copper and zinc alloy, composed of copper, zinc brass is called common brass, if it is composed of more than two kinds of elements of a variety of alloys called special brass. Brass has strong wear resistance, brass is often used in the manufacture of valves, water pipes, air conditioning inside and outside the machine connection pipe and radiator.

2. Common brass is a Cu-Zn binary alloy, and its zinc content varies greatly, so its room temperature structure is also very different. According to the Cu-Zn binary state diagram, the room temperature structure of brass has three types:

(1) The microstructure of the brass containing less than 35% zinc at room temperature is composed of a single phase α solid solution, which is called α brass.

(2) The microstructure of the brass with zinc content in the range of 36% ~ 46% at room temperature is composed of (α+β) two phases, which is called (α+β) brass (two-phase brass).

(3) The microstructure of brass containing more than 46% ~ 50% zinc at room temperature is only composed of β phase, which is called β brass.
