Messing
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc known for its gold-like color and good machinability. It is corrosion resistant (though less than Stainless Steel in harsh conditions) and has good electrical and thermal conductivity. It does not spark, which is important in explosive environments.
Key Properties
- Good corrosion resistance in fresh water
- Spark-free (important for ATEX)
- Aesthetically pleasing (gold color)
- Excellent machinability
Industrial Applications
Messing wordt veelvuldig toegepast in industrieën waar betrouwbaarheid essentieel is. De unieke eigenschappen maken het onvervangbaar voor:
Veelgestelde Vragen over Messing
Which quality of brass do you supply?
We normally supply CuZn39Pb3 (Ms58) due to its excellent machinability, but other alloys are possible on request.
Is brass stronger than steel?
No, brass is generally softer and less strong than steel or stainless steel. It is chosen for specific properties such as conductivity or corrosion resistance.
Can brass rust?
Brass does not rust like steel (red rust), but can oxidize (green tarnish) and dezincify in certain environments.
