More Info About Brass Metal
Brass is a descriptive term used to describe a wide range of copper and zinc alloys that are durable, strong, long lasting, and resistant to corrosion. Changes in the ratio of copper to zinc alters the mechanical, corrosion, and thermal properties of brass in order to meet the requirements of various applications. Generally, the percentage of copper ranges between 60% to above 80% while the percentage of zinc ranges from less than 10% up to more than 40%.
Brass, with a high percentage of copper, is referred to as red brass or gunmetal. The increase in the percentage of copper, above 85%, makes brass malleable, ductile, corrosion resistant, and easy to shape and form. Red brass has excellent machinability, such that it can be easily cut, formed, and drilled. The downside to red brass is its cost, which is higher due to its high copper content.
Lead is added to brass as a stabilizer for the copper and zinc alloys. The addition of lead increases the malleability of brass and makes it more machinable. The allowable amount of lead added to brass is strictly regulated due to the health dangers in regard to inhaling lead. Lead content in brass is not to exceed 2%, with some states requiring a much lower content level.
Brass alloys are preferred in metalworking due to their toughness and corrosion resistance. The properties and characteristics of brass change depending on the ratio of copper-to-zinc and the inclusion of additional alloys. Alloying elements, like tin, aluminum, iron, and lead, increase deformability, machinability, and the tensile strength of brass.
