1.The feature of precision brass turned components
Material characteristics: Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, named for its yellow color. The melting point of brass is about 900 to 940 °C, depending on the composition.
Brass has good mechanical properties and wear resistance, high ductility and corrosion resistance, and can be used in the manufacture of precision instruments, parts of ships, gun shells, coins and so on. Different zinc content will also have different colors, such as 18%-20% zinc content will be reddish yellow, while 20%-30% zinc content will be brownish yellow. In addition, brass has a distinctive sound, which is why brass is used for musical instruments such as gongs, cymbals, bells and horns in the East and brass instruments in the West.
Brass materials are versatile(H59,H62,H65…) and suitable for different applications. Precision brass turning can achieve complex geometries and highly polished surfaces with high machining accuracy, and errors can usually be controlled in the micron range.
2.Application
Electronics industry: brass terminal blocks, connectors and plug parts, watch parts such as gears, Pointers, watch cases, etc
Auto industry: Fuel Fitting, Sensor Housing
Medical industry: small pipe fittings, precision needle parts
Construction and decoration industry: lock core ,brass screws, decorative accessories
3.What is precision brass Turning?
Precision brass turning refers to the process of using a lathe to precisely cut brass materials to achieve specific dimensions, tolerances and surface quality requirements. As a copper alloy, brass has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and is often used in occasions where high strength, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and wear resistance are required.
4.Challenges and Innovations in Precision Brass Turning.
Although precision brass turning technology is already very mature, some new challenges and innovations are emerging with the advancement of technology and diversification of application areas:
High-precision automated turning: With the advancement of automation technology, modern turning equipment is not only able to provide higher machining precision, but also to realize mass production. This requires YUMEI Hardware to continuously improve equipment and processes to increase productivity and precision.
