Dec 09, 2022

Brass is a copper-based alloy with zinc as the main alloying element, named for its yellow color.

Brass has a beautiful color, good process and mechanical properties, high electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance in the atmosphere, fresh water and seawater, easy to cut and polish, good weldability and low price. Commonly used in the production of electrical and thermal conductive components, corrosion-resistant structural parts, elastic components, daily-use hardware and decorative materials, etc., a wide range of uses.

Uses of brass

Brass can be used for a variety of deep drawing and bending manufacturing of stressed parts, such as pins, rivets, washers, nuts, conduits, barometers, sieves, radiator parts, etc.. It has good mechanical properties, good plasticity in the hot state, plasticity in the cold state, good machinability, easy fiber welding and welding, corrosion resistance, is a widely used variety of ordinary brass.
