Brass Bars > Applications
Brass - a copper and zinc alloy
with lead - behaves remarkably well when shaped or finished
with machine-operated tools or subjected to other deformation
stresses - either cold or hot - within a wide temperature range.
Other than its high ductility, easy machining and docile handling,
it features superior rusting resistance in critically hostile
environments. Additionally, brass renders an outstanding wear
resistance.
Its bearing can be modified to suit definite
applications by controlling the ratios of its components or
adding minute amount of other elements. Precise management
and control of three major phases of its production process
- melting, casting and extrusion - translates into the smooth,
homogeneous and cohesive alloy that most demanding markets
require.
Hence each type of brass alloy calls for
a prior analysis and definition of specific material composition
and process parameters.
Brass adaptability and performance
makes it an ideal prime material for a diversity of industrial
uses. A sample of the most common and best known follows:
- Locksmith’s craft: Padlocks and
parts for combination, spring and safety locks, hinges,
keys, handles and ornamental fixtures
- Valves: Machined, threaded and pressed
parts for taps, faucets and industrial valving
- Fastening devices:
All types of standard, special use and customer designed
bolts, screws,
nuts and similar means and tools
- Electrical:Parts for electric and electronic
plugs, sockets...
- Automotive: Thermostats, control and
operating valves...
- Others: Ball-point pens, shipyard and
naval applications, watchmaking...
