Most people recognise the high price commanded by brass
scrap. Indeed many of us, after a DIY project such as
installing a new kitchen or bathroom, collect together
the old brass taps and fittings and sell them to our
local scrap merchant in an attempt to recoup some of our
expenditure. The reason such a premium price is paid for
brass scrap is because it is essential to the economics
of the brass industry. |

Brass for extrusion and hot stamping is normally made
from a basic melt of scrap of similar composition –
adjusted by the addition of small amounts of virgin
copper or zinc as required to meet the specification
before pouring. The use of brass scrap bought at a
significantly lower price than the metal mixture price
means that the cost of the fabricated brass is
considerably less than it might otherwise be. How many
designers consider this when designing new products or
seeking cost savings in existing products. |

Brass is made from alloying Copper with Zinc. Some
alloys are made by adding other elements such as Lead,
Tin, Iron, Aluminium, Silicon and Manganese. Most brass
alloys have good hot working properties and thus can
easily be cast, forged, stamped and extruded. Some brass
scrap can also have excellent anti-corrosive properties
and find themselves used in high corrosive environments. |

Brass Scrap is a cost-effective engineering material
ideally suited for the manufacture of machined and
stamped items.
We offer Brass Scraps in various forms like Tube,
Sheets, Honey, Tod Swarf, Pipe etc and
Selling Brass Scrap in very comparative price
interested buyers may contact us.
we also offer brass scraps that are sourced from
overseas, and have high strength, wonderful pressure
tightness and wearing quality. Featured with sound
corrosion resistance, they have long life and are
ideally suitable in various engineering applications in
various industries. |
Brass machined
parts and stampings
Free machining 60/40 brass with small additions of lead
is particularly cost-effective and environmentally
friendly when used for the manufacture of machined parts
and stampings. Firstly, the swarf produced as a result
of high speed machining (typically metal removal rates
are two to three times those of mild steel) can be sold
as scrap. Secondly, when brass components reach the end
of their long and useful life they too can be readily
recycled. The stamping temperatures for brasses are
lower than those required for ferrous alloys making it
an energy efficient process; the low stamping
temperature also gives an increased die life. Stamping
is a near-net-shape process but the small amount of
swarf produced by machining is again recyclable. Brass
is also cost-effective and kind to the environment
because it does not normally need plating or painting to
prevent corrosion.
Special purpose alloys
Brass swarf arising from machining operations can be
economically remelted but it should be substantially
free from excess lubricant, especially those including
organic compounds that cause unacceptable fumes during
remelting. The presence in brass of some other elements
such as lead is often required to improve machine
ability so such scrap is frequently acceptable. Besides
the common free-machining brasses, there are many others
made for special purposes with properties modified to
give extra strength, hardness, corrosion resistance or
other attributes, so strict segregation of scrap is
essential.
When brass is re melted, there is usually some evolution
of the more volatile zinc. This is made up in the melt
to bring it back within specification. The zinc is
evolved as oxide that is drawn off and trapped in a bag
house and recycled for the manufacture of other
products.
Brass sheet, strip and wire
The 70/30 brass to be made into sheet, strip or wire
form must be significantly free of harmful impurities in
order to retain ductility when cold. It can then be
rolled, drawn, deep drawn, swaged, riveted, spun or cold
formed. It is normal therefore to make it substantially
from virgin copper and zinc, together with process scrap
arising from processing that has been kept clean,
carefully segregated and identified.
