CNC Machining of Brass Parts

Brass is generally used as a material for the manufacture of precision instruments and parts of ships

CNC processing of brass parts is generally processed with brass strips. The mechanical properties and wear resistance of brass strips are very good. It can be used to manufacture precision instruments, ship parts, gun shells, etc. Brass sounds good when knocked, so musical instruments such as gongs, cymbals, bells, and horns are all made of brass. According to the chemical composition, brass is divided into ordinary copper and special brass.
(1) Ordinary brass is a copper-zinc binary alloy. Due to its good plasticity, it is suitable for manufacturing plates, rods, wires, pipes and deep-drawing parts, such as condensation pipes, heat dissipation pipes, mechanical and electrical parts, etc. Brass with an average copper content of 62% and 59% can also be cast, known as cast brass.
(2) Special brass In order to obtain higher strength, corrosion resistance and good casting performance, aluminum, silicon, manganese, lead, tin and other elements are added to the copper-zinc alloy to form special brass. Such as lead brass, tin brass, aluminum brass, silicon brass, manganese brass, etc.

Brass used for CNC machining of brass parts has strong wear resistance. Special brass is also called special brass, which has high strength, high hardness and strong chemical corrosion resistance. The mechanical properties of cutting processing are also outstanding. The seamless copper tube drawn from brass is soft and wear-resistant. Brass seamless tubes can be used in heat exchangers and condensers, cryogenic piping, subsea transportation pipes. Manufacture of sheets, bars, rods, pipes, casting parts, etc. Containing 62% to 68% copper, it has strong plasticity and can be used to manufacture pressure-resistant equipment.
