Selection of brass alloys

Often, alternative alloys can produce similar mechanical properties, depending on forging design, heat treatment, and so forth.

Specifying property levels beyond those actually required by the application can significantly increase costs. The best economy is achieved when tensile, hardness, impact and other mechanical, physical or chemical properties are realistically based on the service requirements of the component being designed.

Once these realistic property levels are established, we as forgers can help select one material from among the alternatives to achieve the optimum combination of performance, forgeability, heat treatability, machinability and economy.
