Casting brass

Brass is also called “yellow copper” because of its color. Brass is a valuable material due to its hardness and good self-lubricating properties. The color of brass is brown to brownish red, depending on its zinc content. Brass castings have a uniform microstructure. This is advantageous for operations and also helps prevent corrosion.

Heycop also guides and advises throughout the process from product design to final product.

The difference between brass and bronze

Castings of brass and of bronze have many similarities. If a copper alloy contains more than 60 percent and zinc is not a main alloying element, that alloy is called bronze. If zinc is present as a major alloying element in addition to copper, it is referred to as brass. So the difference is in the chemical composition. This is not always immediately easy to detect. Because of the differences in chemical composition, there are also differences in corrosion, hardness, electrical resistance and thermal conductivity between bronze and brass castings. Now is it wise to choose casting in brass or copper? Heycop assists you in choosing the right casting for your product. We also help you find the supplier that best suits your needs and works for the most competitive price.
