Brass flange is a copper-zinc alloy with high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and good electrical and thermal conductivity. Due to its easy machinability and wear resistance, brass flanges are commonly used in valve manufacturing, piping, mechanical components, pressure parts, and corrosive environments. This product ensures high sealing performance, enhancing efficiency in water, oil, and compressed air systems.
Characteristics and Features of Brass:
Good Corrosion Resistance: Brass has better corrosion resistance than pure copper, especially in water and air environments.
Moderate Strength and Hardness: Sufficient to withstand the necessary pressure and tightening force in typical piping systems.
Good Machinability: Easy to cut, mill, turn, and drill.
Good Electrical and Thermal Conductivity: However, in piping flange applications, these properties are usually not the primary factors.
Aesthetics: The characteristic yellow color of brass provides an aesthetic appearance.
Good Weldability (with some types of brass): However, welding flanges is less common than using bolts.
Corresponding CNC Technologies:
CNC Milling: Very suitable for creating flanges with complex shapes, precise bolt holes, and flat sealing surfaces.
CNC Turning: Used for machining round surfaces, chamfers, or creating threads on the flange.
CNC Drilling: Performs bolt holes with high precision according to flange standards.
Applications:
Brass flanges are commonly used in piping systems for water, compressed air, and low-pressure/temperature steam, especially in residential applications, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, and some light industries. The advantages of using brass include good corrosion resistance, ease of installation, and aesthetics.
Conclusion: Brass flanges are an important piping accessory, CNC machined to achieve high precision, taking advantage of the good properties of brass alloys such as corrosion resistance and machinability.
