Brass is primarily an alloy of copper and zinc. The ratio of these metals can vary depending on the desired properties of the final product.

Sometimes, elements like lead, aluminum, or tin are added to improve machinability, corrosion resistance, or strength.

The selected metals are placed in a furnace and melted at high temperatures. The melting process allows the metals to combine and form a uniform alloy.

The molten metal is carefully monitored to ensure proper alloy composition.

The molten brass is poured into molds to create billets, ingots, or other initial shapes but surface finish may be rough.

Once poured, the metal is allowed to cool and solidify, forming the initial blocks that will be processed further.

Brass billets are heated and then passed through rollers to reduce thickness and shape the material into plates or sheets.

Brass can also be extruded through a die to create rods, bars, or custom profiles, ideal for further shaping into specific components.

After initial shaping, the brass may undergo further cold rolling or drawing processes to achieve the desired dimensions, strength, and finish.

Cold working improves the metal's strength and hardness but can make it brittle.

Annealing is a heat treatment process that softens the brass, reducing brittleness from cold working.

The brass is heated to a specific temperature and then cooled slowly to achieve the desired ductility and workability.

Brass parts may be machined or shaped to meet precise specifications. This can involve processes like turning, drilling, milling, and cutting.

The ease of machining makes brass ideal for components requiring intricate shapes and tight tolerances.

To enhance appearance, corrosion resistance, or functionality, brass products undergo surface like CNC machining, polishing, and plating finishing processes.

Common finishes include polishing, plating, anodizing, or coating, depending on the end use of the brass product.

Quality checks ensure that the brass meets industry standards and specifications stresses in complex or high-quality.

Testing may include tensile strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, and dimensional accuracy to ensure the product's reliability.
