    PCD tools and brass: Why choose them?

    The best tools for brass processing are PCD tools.  In fact, since brass is an oxidable copper and zinc alloy, and therefore a non-ferrous material, PCD tools are the most suitable choice.

    PCD tools also adapt to the characteristics of this material, such as:

    • Ductility
    • Malleability
    • Good corrosion resistance
    • Fairly high hardness values
    • Resilience
    • Fusibility
    • Remarkable acoustic properties

    Type of brass

    Brass is generally divided into three main types:

    • Soft brass, consisting of copper and zinc
    • Quaternary brass, in which there is a fourth chemical element that characterises the alloy
    • Binary brass, in which there are other chemical elements.

    Soft brass in turn is divided into:

    • α phase brass: when the zinc content is less than 36% (approx.); they have an excellent cold workability and good hot workability.
    • α-β phase brass: when the zinc ranges between 36 and 45%; they can easily be machined when hot.

    The areas of application of brass

    Thanks to its characteristics, brass is used in various fields of application, including:

    • Electrical equipment
    • Road transportation
    • Nautical sector
    • Hobs
    • Ammunition
    • Hydro-sanitary products
    • Chemical industry
    • Mechanical industry
    • Construction and furnishing
    • Minting and similar
    • Musical instruments
