About An Article Related To Characteristics Of The Commodity Brass:

Mechanical Characteristics Of Brass:

The Brass is a metal which has some unique composition and is mainly composed of ‘Copper’ and ‘Zinc’. Copper is the main component, and brass is usually classified as a copper alloy. The percentage of ‘Zinc’ gives the color to the brass; the more percentage of Zinc, the lighter the color will be. Usually the color of brass differs from darkish red brown to a light silvery yellowish. The Brass is harder and stronger than copper.

It is easy to form into various shapes or very ductile, Its ductility is further improved with addition of Aluminum in its chemical composition. Brass is an extremely Good Conductor of heat and electricity due to its Copper content. Brass can be used in Heat Exchanges, refrigeration.

It is resistant to corrosion from salt water through its Zinc content, The resistance to corrosion could be further enhanced by adding chromium. Brass being resistant to Corrosion can be used in Plumbing applications, weather-stripping, Marine applications, screws, radiators, musical instruments, and cartridge casings for firearms.

Raw Materials:

The main component of brass is ‘Copper’; the amount of copper varies from 55% and 95% by density depending on the type of brass and its intended use. The Brass which contains high amount copper are obtained from process called “Electrically refining”, which is atleast to 99.33% pure to decrease or lessen the presence of other materials. Another method of getting out the Copper is from scrap of Copper alloy.  

While using the recycled scrap, the amount of percentages of copper and other alloy materials in the scrap must be known to the manufacturer so that he can manage the percentages of materials to be added in order to achieve the needed brass composition.

Enhancement of Corrosion Resistance in Brass:

The second component of brass is zinc. The percentage of zinc varies from 5% and 40% by density depending on the type of brass. Brasses with higher percentages of zinc are stronger and harder, but they are also more difficult to form and is used to prevent corrosion, However there are other elements which can further improve corrosion resistance. 

Arsenic and antimony are sometimes added to brasses that contain more than 20% zinc in order to inhibit corrosion. Chromium enhances corrosion resistance to a maximum.

Application Engineering through Optimal Selection of Brass:

The conventional naming for different Brass types is commonly reflected either through the color material or through its intended use. Let us take some example, the yellow brass contained 35% zinc and had a yellowish color, while the red brass contains 15% zinc and had a reddish color.

The Cartridge brass which contains 30% of zinc was used to make firearm cartridges. Whereas the Naval brass had up to 39.7% of zinc and were used in several applications on ships. As, Zinc provides the needed Corrosion protection needed when brass component is exposed to salt water.

Unfortunately, scattered among the traditional brass names were a number of misnomers. Brass with 10% zinc was called commercial bronze. These brasses are harder and more resistance to corrosion can be brazed or soldered. Its appealing color makes it to be used in Door Knobs, Kick Plates. It can be also used in valves and marine applications.

In US a unique method called “Unified Numbering System” is used to specify for metal and alloys. In this system an alphabetical letter is used – for example in this case the letter “C” is used for Copper, as of brass is a copper alloy- succeeded by five digits. The Chemical composition in the Brass makes them appropriate for being shaped into the end product by using mechanical methods like forging or rolling, these are called as ‘Wrought Brasses’. Here the first digit of their designation is I through 7. A Brass whose chemical configuration makes them appropriate for being shaped into end product by flowing into a mold are called ‘Cast Brasses’, and the first digit of their designation will be 8 or 9.
