Why Brass is preferred material for industrial
equipment

INFORMATION
- Brass is a substitution alloy of copper and zinc
that are mixed in desired proportions to get
required mechanical and electrical properties. It
can be used in places of low friction like locks,
gears, doorknobs, and valves. - It is highly used in making various musical
instruments as well. Brass turned parts have both
applications in household materials as well as
for industrial purposes. - Some of the major advantageous properties are
mentioned below - MALLEABILITY
- Brass has a relatively lower freezing point,
around 900-940C due to which it is highly
malleable than bronze or zinc. - It is easy to cast and it can be easily changed
by changing the proportions of copper and zinc.

- 2. RECYCLABLE
- Brass can be easily recycled as it is not
ferromagnetic and hence can be easily separated
from ferrous scrap by passing the scrap near a
powerful magnet. - 3. CORROSION RESISTANT
- The CR or corrosion resistant brass are used in
places of high corrosion risk where normal brass
cannot meet the requirements due to high
corrosion risks. - 4. GERMICIDAL ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES
- Brass prevents befouling due to its germicidal
properties. - It kills microorganisms within minutes or hours
of contact. - 5. SPARK RESISTANT
- The composition of brass helps in resisting
sparks. - It does not affect the brass part and is hence
used in parts where there is a high risk of being
affected by sparks.

- Brass has been quite popular since a long period
of time and is used in making various products
for households as well as for various industries. - Brass has a wide range of versatility and has its
applications almost everywhere. Some of which
include - AMMUNITION CASTING
- Brass is known for its spark resistant, low
friction, and corrosion resistant and none
magnetic properties. - It can be easily rolled and turned to cartridge
shells. - Its recycling properties help in ammo reloading.
- 2. MARINE HARDWARE
- Brass is hard and corrosion resistant even in
presence of salt water. - It has been used for centuries as breathing on
hulls of wooden naval ships, for navigational
tools and for making engines and pumps.

- 3. RADIATOR CORE,TUBES AND TANKS
- Brass radiators for cars and trucks are cheaper
than aluminum radiators. - They are easy to manufacture, has long lasting
properties and are recyclable which turns out to
be much more efficient. - Brass turned parts have a lower airside pressure
drop than aluminum. - 4. ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
- Brass has properties of being malleable,
non-magnetic, and its cost is less than gold and
silver. - This makes it an excellent choice for making
panel board switches, PCB plug pins, sockets, and
terminal box. - 5. MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
- The durability, workability, and acoustic
properties of brass makes it an excellent and an
economic choice for making a wide range of
musical instruments like trumpets, tubas,
trombones, cymbals, gongs, etc.

- 6. RV WATER PRESSURE ELBOW FITTING
- It is much stronger and tougher than plastic.
- Brass turned parts can stand up to high water
pressure and reduce it to a manageable level for
using in RVs. - 7. TECHNICAL INSTRUMENTS
- Brass being nonmagnetic has a high application in
making measuring instruments like compasses,
astrolabes, barometers, chronometers, clocks, and
watches.

- Brass turned parts are used since prehistoric
ages but its composition of being a copper-zinc
alloy came to be known during the post-medieval
period. - It is used for decoration due to its gold-like
appearance. - It is used in applications to prevent any effect
by sparks like in fittings and tools used in
flammable or explosive materials. - This useful alloy of copper and zinc comes up
with a huge range of beneficial properties and
applications.
