Brass is the general name for yellow alloys obtained by adding zinc to copper
Some other elements that can be found in brass are tin, lead, nickel, manganese, iron, aluminum, arsenic, antimony and phosphorus. Some brasses containing manganese are also called bronze. Actually bronze (or bronze) is a copper-tin alloy. Brass is a very tough and easily processed material. Its malleability depends on the copper content. White brass containing less than 55% copper cannot be processed easily. These can only be powdered and used in brazing processes. Malleable brass, on the other hand, are alpha brasses that usually contain over 62% copper and can be cold worked, and beta brass, which contain less copper and require hot processing. Alpha brasss have superior cold working properties and are widely used in bolt, pin and screw making. Beta brass is less ductile, but more durable. They are especially used in the manufacture of faucet valves, door and window handles and some fittings.
- Alloys made by copper with zinc are called “Brass”.A small amount of lead in it, etc. it can be alloyed by joining.
- Brass is a very hard and easy to process material. Forgability depends on copper content. White rice containing less than 55% copper cannot be easily processed.
- They are only pulverized and find a place to be used in hard soldering processes.
- Malleable brass, on the other hand, are beta brass, which usually contain more than 62% copper and require hot treatment. Alpha brass has superior cold process properties and is widely used in making bolts, pins and screws. Beta rice, on the other hand, is less ductile, but more durable. These are mainly used in the manufacture of tap valves, door and window handles and some fittings.
- Copper is a red metal. By adding zinc, its color opens. The zinc content in rice is predictable.
- Their specific gravity is 8.4-8,7 kg/DM3.
