Advantages Of Brass Parts For Industrial
Applications

INFORMATION

• A set of copper-zinc alloys that may sometimes
  include additional metals like lead are known as
  brass.
• Irrespective of the types and composition, brass
  is strong, tough, corrosion resistant,
  conductive, and Machinable.
• Brass is mostly used as alloys due to its ease of
  production. For centuries, it has been the metal
  choice for various musical instruments.
• Moreover, its an ideal alloy for the transport
  of water through fittings and pipe.
• Additionally, its also used in pump parts and
  marine engines.
• It should not be a surprise to know that one of
  the first commercial uses of brass was for naval
  ships.
• Non-magnetic nature makes it popular and a mostly
  used metal. Electrical terminals, munitions, and
  clock and watch components require metal thats
  not affected by magnetism.

• And brass becomes the choice of every industry
  due to its non-magnetic nature.
• While understanding a complete list of all the
  applications where brass products manufacturers
  use this alloy would be a colossal task, however,
  you can get an idea of the breadth of industries
  and the types of products in which brass is used
  by categorizing and summarizing some end-uses
  based on the grade of brass used.

• Free Cutting Brass
• Also called as free cutting brass, Alloy C-360
  brass is alloyed with copper, zinc, and lead.
• This brass is very easy to machine and offers the
  same corrosion resistance and toughness as other
  forms of brass.
• Some applications of free cutting brass include
  nuts, bolts, threaded parts terminals jets
  taps injectors valve bodies balance weights
  and pipe or water fittings.
• Gilding Metal (Red Brass)
• A form of brass that is made up of 95 copper and
  5 zinc is red brass or gilding metal.
• A soft brass alloy, gilding metal can be easily
  formed into desired shapes by a hammer.
• Its rare deep bronze color and its ease of use
  make red brass an ideal choice for craft-related
  projects.
• Brass products manufacturers generally use
  gliding metal for artillery shells. Some other
  uses include architectural fascias grillwork
  jewelry ornamental trim badges door handles
  marine hardware primer caps and pens, pencil and
  lipstick tubes.

• Engraving Brass
• Alloys that contain either 1 or 2 lead are
  known as Alloy C35600 or C37000, or engraving
  brass.
• Its name, not surprising, originates from its
  usage in the creation of engraved nameplates and
  plaques.
• Engraving brass may also be used for appliance
  rim clock components builders hardware and
  gear meters.
• Arsenical Brass
• Alloys that contain about .03 arsenic to improve
  corrosion resistance in water are Arsenical brass
  (C26000, C26130 or 70/30 brass).
• Arsenical brass, like other forms of brass, is
  bright yellow, strong, and easy to machine. Brass
  products manufacturers generally use this in
  plumbing. Other uses include heat exchangers
  drawn and spun containers radiator cores, rubes,
  and tanks electrical terminals plugs and lamp
  fittings locks and cartridge casings.

• High Tensile Brass
• High tensile brass is a mainly strong alloy which
  contains a minor percentage of manganese.
• Due to its strength and non-corrosive qualities,
  high tensile brass is commonly used for products
  that undergo a good deal of stress.
• Some examples are Marine Engines Hydraulic
  Equipment Fittings Locomotive Axle Boxes Pump
  Casting Heavy Rolling Mill Housing Nuts Heavy
  Load Wheels Valve Guides Bushes Bearings Swash
  Plates and Battery Clamps.
• This was a brief description of detailing about
  the industries where brass products manufacturers
  use this alloy.
