Brass Turned Parts

Good machinability:

The hardness of brass material is relatively moderate, and it has good cutting performance. The tool wear is small during the turning process, enabling rapid and efficient processing. It is suitable for processing parts of various shapes and sizes and can meet the needs of large-scale production of conventional parts.

Good formability:

Brass has good plasticity and is easy to be processed into complex shapes such as curves and surfaces through turning, providing a good processing foundation for some parts with special shape requirements in mechanical structures.

Material cost: Brass is a common alloy material. The cost of its raw materials is relatively low and the supply is sufficient. This gives brass turned parts a certain advantage in cost.

Low equipment requirements: Traditional turning processing equipment is relatively simple and has a low investment cost. For some small processing plants or enterprises sensitive to cost, it is a more economical choice.

Good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity: The electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of brass are second only to pure copper. This makes it widely used in fields that require electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, such as making wire connectors and radiators for electronic components.

Good corrosion resistance: Brass has certain corrosion resistance to environments such as atmosphere, fresh water, and seawater. In some occasions that need to contact water or be exposed to the air, such as plumbing pipe fittings and valves, brass turned parts can maintain good performance.

High dimensional accuracy: The CNC system can accurately control the tool’s movement trajectory and cutting parameters, thereby ensuring the dimensional accuracy of brass parts. The dimensional deviation can be controlled within a very small range, meeting the application scenarios with higher precision requirements, such as precision instruments and electronic equipment parts.

Good surface quality: CNC turning can achieve high-precision surface processing, making the surface roughness of parts lower and the surface finish higher, improving the appearance quality and service performance of parts.

High degree of automation: CNC turning processing can achieve automated continuous production, reducing the time and errors of manual operations and greatly improving production efficiency. Operators only need to write a good program and set the processing parameters, and the machine tool can automatically complete the processing process, which is suitable for mass production.

Fast processing speed: CNC lathes are usually equipped with high-speed motors and tools and can perform cutting processing at a relatively high speed, further improving production efficiency and shortening the processing cycle of parts.

Ability to process complex shapes: Through CNC programming, brass parts with complex shapes such as various curves, surfaces, and threads can be processed, meeting the diverse needs of different customers. For some parts with special shape requirements, CNC turning has obvious advantages.

Easy to modify and adjust: If the part design needs to be modified or adjusted, only the CNC program needs to be modified. There is no need to remake the mold or adjust the mechanical structure of the machine tool, greatly saving time and cost.
