An alloy of copper and zinc containing 20% or more zinc. It is easier to process than copper and has a beautiful appearance, so it is also used in decorative items.
1. Characteristics of brass
Hardness: The higher the zinc ratio, the harder the steel will be, but at the same time, the more brittle it will be.
Machinability: Metals are very easy to cut, especially free-machining brass.
Because it is easy to process and the material is readily available, it is less expensive than making the same shape of product out of other materials.
2. Brass Types
・2 types of brass
・Brass Grade 3: Specific gravity 8.5/Excellent ductility and deep cutting ability, and good plating properties. (BSP C2801)
3. Supported technologies
Milling
A machining center is a machine tool that can both process and automatically change tools. Computer control ensures consistently high machining precision. It is used to machine parts with complex shapes.
Polishing
Polishing is possible.
Lathe processing
Lathe processing is a processing method in which cutting, drilling, and turning are done by moving the workpiece and bit. The materials involved are extremely diverse and are used to machine a wide range of components. Lathe processing causes damage to the workpiece because it moves in a circular motion.
