Brass Pressings

Brass is a copper-zinc alloy renowned for its attractive finish and excellent workability. By varying the zinc content and incorporating small amounts of other elements, such as lead or tin, brass can be tailored to achieve a balanced combination of strength, ductility, and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal choice for precision pressing or wire form applications.

Material Properties

  • Because of their special combination of qualities, brass pressings and wire forms can be used for a wide variety of applications. Important characteristics include:
  • Aesthetic Appearance: Brass is a popular material for applications where aesthetics is crucial because of its bright, golden finish.
  • Good Corrosion Resistance: Even in harsh conditions, the alloy’s inherent resistance to corrosion guarantees long-lasting performance.
  • Outstanding Machinability: Brass is easily formed and machined, enabling the production of complex pressing shapes and precise wire form designs.
  • Consistent Electrical Conductivity: Brass is often used in electronic components due to its reliable electrical conductivity.
  • Balanced Mechanical Strength: Brass pressings and wire forms can withstand moderate loads due to their good strength-to-ductility ratio.

Uses of Brass Pressings

Due to its versatile nature, brass is used in a variety of applications. Common uses include:

  • Electrical Applications: Brass pressings are used in connectors, terminals, and contact plates due to their excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. For example, they are used in switchgear components to ensure stable electrical connections.
  • Plumbing Systems: Brass press fittings are essential in plumbing applications, such as gaskets, washers, and sealing rings, offering durable and leak-free connections.
  • Industrial Hardware: Brass brackets, fasteners, and structural components are used in machinery due to their wear resistance and durability.

Brass Wire Forms

Brass wire forms are custom-shaped components made from brass wire through bending or forming processes. They are valued for their flexibility, strength, and corrosion resistance.
