Working Principle: How Brass Plates Are Manufactured

Brass plates are produced through a combination of casting, rolling, and annealing processes that determine their mechanical properties and surface quality.

Step 1: Raw Material Selection

High-purity copper (99% min) and zinc are carefully proportioned to achieve the desired properties for C2600 and C2680 grades.

Step 2: Melting & Casting

The copper and zinc are melted together in controlled furnaces to form a homogeneous brass alloy. The molten brass is cast into slabs or billets.

Step 3: Hot Rolling

The cast slabs are heated and passed through rolling mills to reduce thickness and refine the grain structure. This initial rolling improves mechanical properties and achieves the basic dimensions.

Step 4: Cold Rolling (for thinner gauges)

For plates requiring precise thickness and smooth surface finish, the material undergoes cold rolling at room temperature. This process:

• Achieves tight thickness tolerances

• Improves surface quality

• Increases strength through work hardening

Step 5: Annealing (if required)

Depending on the desired hardness and formability, the brass may be annealed (heat treated) to restore ductility and relieve internal stresses.

Step 6: Cutting & Finishing

Plates are cut to custom widths (20–2500mm) and lengths according to customer requirements. Edges can be milled, slit, or smoothed as needed.

Step 7: Quality Inspection

Every batch undergoes rigorous testing:

• Chemical composition analysis (Cu ≥99%)

• Mechanical property testing (tensile strength, elongation)

• Dimensional inspection

• Surface quality assessment

Step 8: Packaging

Finished plates are packed in standard export packaging, suitable for sea freight and container transport.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: What is the difference between C2600 and C2680 brass?

A: Both are copper-zinc alloys with similar properties. C2600 (Cartridge Brass) contains approximately 70% copper and 30% zinc, offering excellent cold workability. C2680 is similar but often used for deep drawing and forming applications. Both provide good corrosion resistance and machinability.

Q2: Is this brass plate non-alloy?

A: Yes, our brass plates are classified as non-alloy. They consist primarily of copper and zinc without additional alloying elements, ensuring consistent properties and excellent workability.

Q3: What is the copper content?

A: Our brass plates have a minimum copper content of 99% , ensuring high corrosion resistance, good conductivity, and excellent formability.
