Brass

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, belonging to the group of non-ferrous metals. The content of copper in the alloy can vary from 60.5 to 97%, and the content of the main alloying element, i.e. zinc, from 3% to 39.5%. It has high strength and corrosion resistance. A wide range of metal products are made from brass . Sheet metal, pipes, rods, rails and other items in stock at good prices can be found at Smart Metal Group EOOD .

Field of application of brass.

Thanks to these high technological qualities, brass is widely used in the production of a wide range of small items, especially for those that require good processing and molding. Molten brass has a good viscosity, thanks to which it makes very good castings. Another useful function of brass is flexibility of plastic deformation. Therefore, it is often used for the production of rolled semi-finished products, such as sheets, strips, wires and various profiles. Today, the following types of brass are produced on an industrial scale:
• single-phase;
• two-phase;
• multiphase;
• special.
They differ from each other in their characteristics and percentage of metal content. Thus, single-phase brass contains 30 percent or more of zinc in its composition. This gives the material high plasticity . Single-phase brass is resistant to moisture and temperature extremes. Dual-phase brass perfectly forges and rolls. Advantages of the above two types unite multiphase brass , as forged products are resistant to moisture and temperature changes.

Brass is divided into 2 types:

- Two-component brass contains only copper and zinc, impurities are used in small quantities.
- Multi-component brass contains other additional alloying elements in addition to copper and zinc.
Most often, brass is supplied in the form of brass sheets, bars, wire, pipes, etc. Our company is pleased to offer you all kinds of brass .

Advantages of brass.

The main advantages of brass are: easy processing and plasticity. Brass takes the form of tubes, rods and sheets with equal ease. Through alloying elements , brass has a higher quality and corrosion resistance than copper. Importantly, brass has a natural protection, being unaffected by air, seawater, and most organic solutions and solutions containing carbon dioxide. It perfectly processes under pressure in the cold and warm state and perfectly solders with hard and soft solders, making brass the preferred material in most cases.
