Copper Zinc Alloy Powder

Applications

Powder Metallurgy and Additive Manufacturing

Sintered Components: Cu-Zn alloy powders are extensively used in powder metallurgy processes to produce sintered parts. These parts include gears, bearings, electrical connectors, and automotive components. The excellent formability of brass allows for the production of high-precision parts with good mechanical properties.

Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing): In 3D printing or additive manufacturing, Cu-Zn alloy powder is used to print complex geometries and small parts that require a balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. This includes applications in automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics.

Electrical and Electronics Industry

Electrical Connectors: Cu-Zn alloys are widely used for manufacturing electrical connectors, terminals, contact points, and switches. Brass has good electrical conductivity, combined with corrosion resistance and strength, making it suitable for use in harsh environments, such as in outdoor or marine electronics.

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs): Brass is sometimes used in the manufacturing of soldering materials and PCB components due to its good solderability and thermal conductivity.

Wires and Cables: Cu-Zn alloys are used in the production of wires and cables, especially for applications that require a combination of conductivity and mechanical strength, like in telecommunication and electrical systems.

Automotive Industry

Engine Components: Cu-Zn alloys, particularly leaded brass, are used in automotive components such as brake fittings, valves, pumps, and radiator cores. These alloys’ strength and corrosion resistance make them ideal for use in engines and other automotive systems that face high wear and exposure to heat and chemicals.

Gears and Bearings: Brass is commonly used to produce gears, bearings, and other mechanical parts, particularly in systems requiring good lubrication and resistance to wear. The excellent machinability of Cu-Zn alloys also makes them easy to fabricate into these components.
