Brass is an alloy made of copper and zinc. The proportions of zinc and copper may vary to create various kinds of brasses with different properties: strength, ductility, hardness, color, antimicrobial, electrical and thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance.
The introduction of modern production process in continuous casting allows to have a superior product on quality, compared to the traditional brass ingot, with features of constant homogeneity that guarantee a higher customer satisfaction for the purposes which is principally addressed: sanitary taps and industrial valves, fittings, handles, mechanical and artworks.
The bronze ingots are manufactured melting secondary metals (scrap or waste) in a tundish or in continuous casting with octagonal section and dimensions 80X80X300mm.
They are used for the production of gas and water fittings,large gears, bearings and mechanical products in the industry, propellers and propeller support, valves for naval components, engine parts, special pumps and flanges in automotive and transport.
The bronze bar in continuous casting finds many applications in the field of fittings, valves and for all the components in contact with drinking water.
Due to its high electrical conductivity, proper of all the copper alloys, the bronze bar is used in the electrical slip rings and in the parts of electric motor gears.
