Application of brass in jewelry

Application of brass in jewelry

Are you interested in using brass in jewelry from the supplier company AvecGlob? Here you will find the necessary information on this topic.

Classes of brass used in jewelry

In the jewelry industry, the alloys of the following three classes find use:

  • Alpha brass has a copper concentration of more than 65%. They have a face-centered cubic crystal structure and can be processed in the cold state. This makes the alpha-brass ideal for pressing and forging. Alpha-brass has a golden color due to the high proportion of copper in the alloy;
  • Alpha-beta-brass are alloys in which there are 55−65% copper and 35−45% zinc. A higher concentration of zinc gives these brass metals bright, shiny properties. They contain both face-centered cubic crystals, and cubic crystals centered in the center. This makes alpha-beta brass stronger than alpha-brass, and they are usually processed in a heated state;
  • Beta-brass is an alloy that contains about 50−55% copper and 45−55% zinc. They are the most solid and durable, are processed only in a hot condition. Beta-brass is ideal for casting. Due to the high content of zinc, and the low proportion of copper, beta-brass has the least saturated golden color.

Properties of brass

Brass is a more pliable material than bronze or zinc, which makes it easy to manipulate. One of the most noticeable properties of brass alloys is their relatively low melting point at 900−940 ° C. Brass is known for its machinability and foundry qualities, because it can be easily processed and molded while maintaining its strength.

In terms of physical properties, brass is a good conductor for both heat and electricity. One specific properties of brass are antimicrobial, which makes the alloy a good choice for plumbing and fixtures in medical institutions.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers various types of products from brass alloys of domestic and foreign production, which meets the requirements of standards. The products are offered at affordable prices from the manufacturer. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer

Jewelry

Many jewelers like to work with brass because of its high aesthetic qualities and relative accessibility. Brass has good casting characteristics and is often chosen for intricate wax castings. Attractive gold shade of brass allows you to receive bright decorations, at a much lower price than gold.

Processing of brass in jewelry

The properties of such corrosion-resistant alloys and the smoothness of the finish make them ideal for processing. In the jewelry business, brass is used to make jewelry, which consists of 59% copper, 40% zinc, 1% tin, and also contains traces of lead. The resulting alloy has excellent machinability and is very resistant to corrosion.

In different styles of art and jewelry, many brass applications. Mat brass has a soft, matte effect for a muted, understated finish.

Mat brass also has a soft finish with a bright warm tone and an interesting textured surface. Brass in brass made of natural stone has a strong rough finish for a touch of bold texture. Those who are looking for a perfect shine pay attention to high gloss brass, which has a sparkling gold finish.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers to purchase assorted brass alloys of domestic and foreign production. Products can be bought at a price formed on the basis of European and world standards. Implementation is possible in bulk and retail, for regular customers, a flexible system of discounts operates.
