Brass is one of the most widely used and least expensive of all the copper based alloys. Brasses set the standard by which the machinability of other materials is measured. Other elements like Aluminium, Lead, Tin, Silicon, Iron and Manganese are added in smaller proportions, to enhance the individual properties, resulting in a perfect alloy suitable for specific application areas. By varying the amount of copper and zinc content, a unique combination of different characteristics are achieved in the form of corrosion resistance, higher strength, ductility, excellent formation and suitability for machining.
| ELEMENT | Copper | Aluminium | Iron | Zinc | Lead | Tin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Min (%) | 63.00 | - | - | Balance | 1.00 | - |
| Max (%) | 67.00 | 0.01 | 0.50 | 3.00 | 1.50 |
AEPL has implemented a quality system for Copper Based Alloys where all processes are monitored from start to finish i.e. from procurement of raw material, their combination, manufacturing processes, measurement and chemical analysis. We maintain our own laboratory with calibrated equipments to ensure delivery of certified ingots as per International Standards and satisfy clients' requirements. The equipment includes Optical Emission Spectrometer which uses arc and spark excitation technology. Samples of test reports are available upon request.
AEPL manufactures and supplies Copper Alloys products to Domestic as well as International Markets. Located at a single site, our smaller foundries are equipped to use in-house certified ingots and create complex shapes of Copper alloy castings and turn them into finished components using Drilling, Grinding and CNC turning centres.
