Brass Materials
Brass is a copper-zinc alloy prized for its corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, machinability and attractive gold-like appearance. In metal stamping, brass alloys deliver excellent formability and springback control, making them a first-choice material for precision stamped components across electrical, plumbing, automotive and consumer applications.
ISTAMPING stamps brass on high-speed progressive dies up to 300 SPM with 0.005 mm positioning precision, producing brass metal stamped parts - from terminals and eyelets to brackets and housings - with managed plating for corrosion protection and solderability. Our brass metal stamping services cover design, prototyping and high-volume production under one roof.
Key Properties
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Composition | Copper-zinc alloy (e.g. C26000 cartridge brass, C26800 yellow brass) |
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent, especially in atmospheric and freshwater environments |
| Conductivity | Good electrical and thermal conductivity (≈28% IACS) |
| Formability | High ductility; excellent for deep drawing and progressive stamping |
| Finishing | Tin, nickel, silver or gold plating; passivation; polishing |
Typical Applications
