Brass Deep Drawing Components

Deep drawing is a wonderful process where a sheet metal blank is radially drawn into a forming die cavity by the mechanical action of a punch. This results in a “deep” shape, e.g., a cylinder. Our experts at JCL ensure that your brass deep drawing components will stand the test of time as they are made with high-quality brass with tenacious strength.
We work with integrity and skilled engineers, as well as state-of-the-art technology, to ensure you receive the best quality from us.
ABOUT DEEP DRAWING BRASS
Brass is made of two metals: copper and zinc. The proportions of zinc and copper required depend on the color that needs to be achieved, though copper is always used more in terms of proportion, generally around 66%. The inclusion of more copper over zinc results in softer brass with a gold-like appearance. Meanwhile, using more zinc leads to a silvery appearance and a harder brass.
Brass sometimes also includes other elements, such as lead and aluminum, though in very small amounts.
Due to its malleable nature and low melting point, brass is a popular choice for many everyday objects like doorknobs, cutlery, hinges, etc.
Properties of Deep Drawing Brass
It is an alloy of copper and zinc, sometimes also referred to as copper alloy (by historians) if the distinction between bronze and brass is not clear.
It has low friction compared to other metals.
It is not ferromagnetic.
Brass is easily recyclable. In fact, 90% of brass used is recycled.
It has antibacterial properties.
It is resistant to corrosion.
If brass makes contact with a “less-noble” metal, the metal in question will corrode instead of the brass.
Types of Deep Drawn Brass Parts
Cylindrical components: Cups/cylindrical brass shapes are used in automotive, electronic prototyping, containers, casings, and connectors, e.g., for bullet cartridges and water heaters.
Boxed-shaped components: Enclosures such as boxed-shaped components are used for electronic devices and sensors.
Hollow cylinders: Hollow cylinders are used in many industries, such as plumbing and automotive.
Precision components: These are usually used for their mainplates in watches and clocks.
Custom shapes: Brass is malleable and, therefore, can be deeply drawn to create custom and complex shapes.
APPLICATIONS OF deep drawn brass stampings COMPONENTS
Deep Drawing Brass in Automotive Industry
Brass deep-drawing stampings are used in the automotive industry, such as to convey fuel through an injector cup through a fuel line to a fuel rail. They are also used in automotive metal stamping parts, such as automotive oxygen sensors due to their heat and wear resistance.
Deep Drawing Brass in Plumbing industry
Deep-drawn brass ferrules are used inside water heaters connecting applications due to their ductile nature to both hot and cold, which allows them to withstand contrasting temperatures. This ductility is also useful in the metal-forming process.
Deep Drawing Brass in Utensils
brass metal stamping is often used to make utensils in many parts of the world, such as India. Brass utensils help to keep foods warm for longer due to ductility. It is high in zinc, and therefore, cooking on it allows for more zinc to enter your body through food.
