Brass sand casting introduction

Commonly there is no difference between copper sand casting and aluminum sand casting. If any, only the melting points of such two casting alloys are different.Of course, the shrinkage of the brass (copper) casting alloy is quite different from that of aluminum casting alloy. Thus when we make sand casting molds, we should take the different shrinkage rate into consideration.

Besides above mentioned points, the melting of brass alloy is a quite technical work. Commonly, the brass casting alloy should be melted by adding other elements into the electrical furnace to obtained the required chemical composition and corresponding mechanical property. Because there is always only pure copper available in the market, as doesn't like aluminum casting alloy almost all types of which can be bought in the market.

Zenith Aluminum and Brass Casting Foundry dedicated into brass sand casting in the early of 1990's. Now we have established the special brass sand casting line separately from our former aluminum sand casting line. One electrical melting furnace is exclusive for brass casting.

Commercial application of brass sand casting parts

Compared with aluminum casting parts, brass casting products are much more expensive. Especially during the recent years, the copper stock exchange is much more flourish than that of aluminum alloys. However the brass castings have their unique superior property to aluminum castings. For example, the conductivity and roughness of brass casting is much superior to that of aluminum castings. Therefore, the brass casting parts are more commonly used in electrical and thermo-conductivity fields that aluminum casting parts.

The brass sand castings produced by Zenith Aluminum and Brass Casting Foundry are mainly used in fluid control systems. Our typical brass cast products are brass valves, brass couplings and brass adapters. Besides, our brass products also involve brass furniture parts, brass door accessories, and brass cast kitchen parts.
