Brass
Brass is a copper-zinc alloy whose properties are influenced by its composition and material condition. Depending on the alloy, properties such as strength, formability, corrosion resistance and electrical and thermal properties may vary.
MN Kaltformteile, for example, processes CuZn36 (CW507L) as a brass material for cold extrusion. This means that brass forms part of the range of materials used for the production of precision cold-formed parts.
Brass for cold-formed parts
Brass is suitable for a variety of technical components and, depending on the alloy, combines good formability with corrosion resistance and characteristic surface properties. Applications can be found, for example, in the plumbing and electrical engineering sectors, as well as in the automotive industry.
Cold extrusion enables suitable brass materials to be formed into complex component geometries in a material-efficient manner. The process allows for high material utilisation and is particularly well-suited for the cost-effective production of larger quantities.
MN Kaltformteile processes CuZn36 (CW507L), for example, for cold-formed components such as bearing bushes.
