Brass

38

Mechanical versatility and aesthetic excellence

Thanks to its versatility, it is now a major player in the most demanding fields, from micromechanics to luxury design.

Brass is an alloy consisting mainly of Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn), which has been chosen for centuries for its perfect balance of mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and workability.

Properties

Workability and Formability

It excels in both chip removal and stamping. It allows complex geometries to be obtained with high precision, dramatically reducing machining time and tool wear.

Corrosion Resistance

Perfect for marine or aggressive environments. Its natural durability, which can be enhanced with surface treatments, ensures long-lived components and minimizes maintenance.

Conductivity and robustness

The ideal compromise between conductivity and strength. It offers superior structural stability to copper, making it irreplaceable for connectors, exchangers and electrical components.

Aesthetics and sustainability

It combines a fine golden finish with total sustainability. As it is 100% recyclable, it enhances the circular economy by allowing the complete recovery of waste.

Areas of application

Furniture and design

Handles, frames, luxury hardware and lighting elements. Chosen for its natural elegance and ease of polishing.

Automotive

Electrical connectors and precision components requiring electrical stability and corrosion resistance.

Electronics

Clamps, terminals and contacts made by high-speed stamping and punching.

Shipbuilding industry

Fasteners and accessories exposed to the marine environment due to natural resistance against saltiness.

Mechanics and hydraulics

Valves, fittings and small metal parts. Essential where precision, reliability, and fluid resistance are needed.
