Brass is an object made of an alloy of copper and zinc. It is named for its yellow color. Brass with a copper content of 56% to 68% has a melting point of 934 to 967 degrees. Brass has good mechanical properties and wear resistance, and can be used to manufacture precision instruments, ship parts, and bullet casings for guns. Generally, it is used more in precision copper parts such as auto parts, medical parts, electrical parts and so on.
The advantages of brass material:
1. It has high strength, good plasticity, can well withstand cold and hot pressure processing, welding and corrosion resistance. For condensation and cooling pipes, siphons, serpentines, cooling equipment parts. 2. It has very good plasticity and high strength, good cutting performance, easy to weld, not stable to general corrosion, but easy to crack. It is the most widely used variety in ordinary brass. For complex cold and deep drawn parts, such as radiator housings, conduits, bellows, cartridge cases, gaskets, etc. 3. The price is the cheapest, with high strength and hardness and poor plasticity, but it can still withstand pressure processing well in a hot state, with average corrosion resistance, and other properties are similar to H62. For general machine parts, welding parts, hot stamping and hot rolling parts. 4. It has good mechanical properties, good plasticity in hot state, good plasticity in cold state, good machinability, easy brazing and welding, corrosion resistance, but easy to produce corrosion cracking. In addition, it is inexpensive and is a common brass variety for habitual applications. 5. It has high strength, toughness, and good anti-friction properties. It has high corrosion resistance in the atmosphere and sea water, but has a tendency to corrosion and cracks, and has good plasticity in hot state. For making structural parts that work under friction and seawater corrosion.
