The diversity of processing properties of brass rods

Brass rods have extremely wide processing adaptability: during hot working (600-800℃), their plasticity is superior to that of pure copper, making them suitable for extruding large profiles. During cold working (such as cold drawing and cold rolling), the hardness can be controlled by adjusting the zinc content to meet the dimensional accuracy requirements of precision parts. In addition, brass has excellent cutting performance (especially lead-containing brass), with cutting speeds reaching 2 to 3 times that of pure copper. The tool wear rate is low, significantly enhancing the efficiency of mechanical processing.
