Brass strip is an alloy of copper and zinc, a good conductive material, named for its yellow color. It has extremely good plasticity and high strength, good cutting performance and easy welding. Moreover, it has good mechanical properties and wear resistance, and can be used to manufacture precision instruments, ship parts, gun shells, etc. Brass is divided into ordinary brass copper and special brass.
The production process of brass strip is as follows
●Melting and casting: This is the first step in the production of brass strip. The raw materials such as copper and zinc are mixed evenly through smelting, and then the preliminary strip is formed through casting.
●Hot rolling: Hot rolling is to plastically deform the preliminary strip to reduce the thickness of the strip and prepare for subsequent cold rolling.
●Milling: Remove the oxide layer and other impurities on the surface of the strip to improve the surface quality and dimensional accuracy of the strip.
●Annealing: Annealing is to eliminate the internal stress generated by the strip during the rolling process and improve its plasticity for subsequent processing.
●Stretch bending and straightening: This step is to eliminate the residual stress and shape deviation of the strip and ensure the straightness of the product.
●Slitting and warehousing: Finally, the brass strips produced are slid according to specifications and stored in the warehouse waiting for shipment.
Main uses of the brass strips:
●Electronic field: manufacturing electronic components, electrical contacts and cables, device terminals, conductive spring sheets, connectors and other electronic components
●Mechanical field: because brass strips have good cold processing performance and plastic deformation ability, high-precision parts and devices can be made. For example, parts in precision mechanical devices such as clocks, optical instruments, and small electrical appliances
●Construction field: brass strips are mostly used in the construction field as decorative materials and building hardware. They can be used to make door handles, locks, wire troughs and other building hardware accessories, and can also be used for decorative rods, lamps, and decorative panels
●Deep drawing and bending production and processing: brass strips have good mechanical properties and wear resistance, and can be used to manufacture precision instruments, ship parts, gun shells, etc. Due to its good plasticity, it is suitable for manufacturing plates, bars, wires, tubes and deep-drawn parts, such as condensers, radiators, and mechanical and electrical parts.
In general, brass strip is a universal metal material with excellent physical and chemical properties, easy processing and forming, and can meet the needs of various industrial and life scenarios
