Brass is one of the most versatile copper alloys used in manufacturing today. Understanding its composition is crucial for selecting the right material for your applications. At Shri Guru Metals, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality brass components for various industrial applications.
What is Brass?
Brass is an alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc. The proportion of these metals can vary significantly, creating different types of brass with unique properties. Common brass contains approximately 65% copper and 35% zinc, but this ratio can be adjusted to achieve specific characteristics required for different industrial applications.
Composition Parameters
- Alpha Brass: Contains less than 35% zinc with excellent cold working properties
- Alpha-Beta Brass: Contains 35-45% zinc providing balanced strength and ductility
- Beta Brass: Contains more than 45% zinc with superior hot working properties
- Lead Content: 2-4% lead improves machinability for complex components
- Tin Addition: 0.5-1% tin enhances corrosion resistance significantly
Our manufacturing facility at Shri Guru Metals ensures that all brass products meet international quality standards including IS, ASTM, and BS specifications, making us a trusted partner for industries requiring precision brass components.
