Performance and characteristics of ordinary brass

1. Composition
Ordinary brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, usually with a zinc content of 5-45%. The higher the zinc content in brass, the higher the strength, but the ductility and plasticity are reduced.

2. Physical properties
The density of ordinary brass is about 8.4g/cm3, the melting point is about 900℃, and the fixed thermal conductivity is about 120W/m·K. Ordinary brass also has good electrical and thermal conductivity and is an excellent electrical conductor material.

3. Mechanical properties
Ordinary brass has good forgeability and ductility and can be processed into various shapes through processes such as stamping, stretching and bending. The tensile strength of ordinary brass is 350-420MPa, the yield strength is 140-210MPa, and the hardness is 80-130HB. Ordinary brass has good stability and oxidation resistance at high temperatures.

4. Processing performance
Ordinary brass can be formed through a variety of processes such as forging, die casting, casting and welding. The processing properties of brass depend on its composition and heat treatment status. The higher the zinc content, the worse the forgeability of brass, but the better the welding performance. Heat treatment can significantly improve the mechanical properties and processing properties of brass.

5. Corrosion resistance
Ordinary brass has good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of most chemicals and oxidants. However, in an environment containing organic substances such as ammonia, brass is prone to stress corrosion cracking and surface corrosion.

In general, ordinary brass is an excellent metal material with good physical properties, mechanical properties and processing properties. It is widely used in the manufacture of various parts and crafts, such as clocks, keys, door handles, etc. At the same time, brass is relatively cheap, easy to process and process, and is also an economical material.
