Brass is an alloy comprised of copper and zinc, and its properties can be modified to create different types of brass. Lead is commonly added to the composition of brass, which improves its machinability. Brass can be formed into different shapes with facilitation, and is used for products such as piping and tubing, radiators, musical instruments, firearm cartridge castings, and architectural features. It is also salt water corrosion resistant.
Copper is a metallic element that has been used for many years and is known for its high conductivity for heat and electricity. Copper shares many properties with silver and gold, and is used in many similar applications. Common applications of copper and copper alloys include the making of coins, gun metals, wires, industrial machines, and electrical motors. Copper is continually in demand due to its many uses to customers and valuable properties.
Copper Alloys
Bronze
Bronze is a copper alloy with many variations in its composition for different uses. It has corrosion resistant properties and is commonly used in applications where it is preferred as an alternative to copper due to its harder material. Bronze is often used in the product of architectural pieces, furniture hardware, trims and railing, and door and window frames. If protected with a mild coating, bronze can also be resistant to weak acids. It is sold in sheets, plates, bars, and more. Call us for options.
Brass
Brass is a metal alloy made of copper and zinc in varying proportions, depending on the industry or intended use. This metal is antimicrobial, corrosion resistant, and ductile, making it ideal for medical industries as well as tools, shell casings, bearings, gears, pipes, radiators, lamps. and more.
It is available to customers as sheet plate, rods, bars, or tube form. A custom order can include cutting or other processing. We stock many alloys and tempers, and we can find you any metal that isn’t in our inventory.
Copper Nickel
Copper nickel alloys are particularly useful in the marine industry due to its resistance to corrosion from seawater. Industries served include naval and shipbuilding, offshore oil production, desalination, and power generation. Other industrial applications for this metal include brakes tubes, and because of its antimicrobial properties, hospital use.
Beryllium Copper
This is one of the strongest metals incorporating copper, and it is also known as spring copper or beryllium bronze due to the small ratio of beryllium incorporated into the metal.
Call to inquire about bars, rods, or sheets of this metal. It responds superbly to precipitation hardening treatments, offers excellent conductivity, and resists stress relaxation. Customers use this copper compound for aerospace landing gear and robotic welding. The non magnetic properties make this copper perfect for down-hole wire line tools.
