Brass sheets are characterised by good electrical and thermal conductivity, suitable for certain electrical and electronic applications. In addition, they have excellent corrosion resistance especially against salt water and pitting corrosion, which makes them ideal for marine applications and corrosive environments. Brass sheets are suitable for forming applications because they are easy to cold bend.
Brass sheets have a number of outstanding characteristics that make them extremely versatile and useful in a wide range of industrial, decorative and practical applications: malleability and ductility, antimicrobial properties – essential for the manufacture of door handles or handrails, among other sanitary items – and wear and fatigue resistance for the manufacture of materials subject to friction.
Brass is a material used in decorative applications because it has an aesthetically pleasing appearance, which can range from bright yellow to reddish, depending on the proportion of copper and zinc. The choice of alloy type will depend on the mechanical characteristics you need for your project.
