Brass
Brass is an alloy metal that is made of copper and zinc, and the amount of copper and zinc in brass determines its properties. It is popular today for its bright gold like appearance.
Brass is a desirable architectural alloy because of its inherent durability, corrosion resistance and aesthetic colouring. It has a variety of qualities, but all of them are robust, machinable, tough, conductive, and corrosion-resistant.
It is a versatile alloy prized for its combination of properties, making it suitable for a wide range of applications across diverse industries.
CZ106 - CW505L
CZ106 is a common type of brass alloy. It is a duplex alpha-beta brass alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc, with additional elements contributing to its specific properties. It is known for its excellent machinability, making it suitable for applications requiring intricate shapes and precise tolerances.
