High standard of Brass

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc with differing combinations of properties. Combinations of these properties result in unique structural materials. It is frequently being used to make the least costly machined products. It is in fact the best material from which we can manufacture many other components.


Some of its properties are -

• Ductility
• Hardness
• Conductivity
• Machinability
• Wear resistance
• Color
• Corrosion resistance
• Recyclability

It has an excellent thermal conductivity that makes it a first choice for heat exchangers or radiators. Its electrical conductivity ranges from 23 to 44% than that of pure copper. It is one of the first-choice materials for producing many other materials in general, electrical and all precision engineering industries. They are ideal for a very wide range of applications. It has some unique combination of properties that make it indispensable where a long, cost-effective service life is required. This combination cannot be matched by other materials. Also, brass does not become brittle at low temperatures like mild steel. Its products can often be used without needing extra surface protection.

Factors that contribute to low costs of brass components includes-

• Ease of machining, through which the initial production cost is minimized.
• The good corrosion resistance property of the brasses plays a key role in reducing the costs of its components.
• Its long service life is yet another factor that contributes in the low cost of its equipments by reducing the cost of service.

Brasses set high standards for judging the Machinability of other materials. They are available in a very wide variety of forms and sizes to allow minimum machining to finished dimensions. Brass parts and it's components, especially those products whose application in industries require adherence to close tolerances, must be manufactured with attention to detail, right from sourcing raw material to forming, shaping, die-casting, finishing etc.
