What is brass, red copper and red copper, and what is the difference?

1. Brass is an alloy composed of copper and zinc. Brass composed of copper and zinc is called ordinary brass. If it is a variety of alloys composed of more than two elements, it is called special brass. Brass parts has strong wear resistance. Brass is often used to make valves, water pipes, connecting pipes for internal and external air conditioners, and radiators.

 

2. Red copper, also known as red copper, is a simple substance of copper, so named because of its purple-red color. See copper parts for various properties. Red copper is industrial pure copper with a melting point of 1083°C, no allotropic transformation, and a relative density of 8.9, which is five times that of magnesium parts. The mass of the same volume is about 15% heavier than ordinary steel parts.

 

The red copper is generally called red copper because of its rose red color and purple after forming an oxide film on the surface. It is copper containing a certain amount of oxygen, so it is also called oxygen-containing copper.

 

3. Red copper is pure copper, also known as red copper parts, which is a simple substance of copper, and it is named because of its purple-red color. See copper for various properties. Red copper is industrial pure copper with a melting point of 1083°C, no allotropic transformation, and a relative density of 8.9, which is five times that of magnesium.

 

The mass of the same volume is about 15% heavier than ordinary steel. Because it has a rose red color and is purple after an oxide film is formed on the surface treatment, it is generally called copper. It is copper containing a certain amount of oxygen, so it is also called oxygen-containing copper.

 

Red copper has good electrical and thermal conductivity, excellent plasticity, and is easy to be processed by hot and cold pressure. It is widely used in the manufacture of wire cutting, cables, electric brushes, electric spark copper and other products that require good electrical conductivity.

 

The difference between copper and brass

 

1. Appearance color

 

Brass: It is light golden yellow and shiny.

 

Copper: Rose red, shiny.

 

2. Ingredients

 

Red copper: The content of copper has reached 99.9%.

 

Brass: about 60% of copper; about 40% of zinc parts; some grades contain about 1% of lead, which is impurity.

 

3. Strength

 

Brass: higher.

 

Copper: lower.

 

4. Density

 

The density of brass (8.93g/cm3) is mostly used for mechanical bearing lining, and it is wear-resistant. metal castings are often used to make valves and pipe fittings.

 

Red copper. Pure copper, also known as red copper, has a density (7.83g/cm3), a melting point of 1083 degrees, and is non-magnetic.

What are the characteristics of the CNC turning process?

What are the characteristics of the CNC turning process? Turning is a method of cutting the workpiece on the lathe by rotating the workpiece relative to the tool. Turning is the most basic and common cutting processing method. Most workpieces with revolving surfaces can be processed by turning methods, such as inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, inner and outer conical surfaces, end surfaces, grooves, threads, and rotary forming surfaces. Common lathes can be divided into horizontal lathes, floor lathes, vertical lathes, turret lathes and profiling lathes, and most of them are horizontal lathes.

The Influence of CNC Turning and Milling Machining on Turning Efficiency

The cutting efficiency of CNC lathes will be affected by human factors, environmental factors and the machine tool itself. Let's talk about the influence of cutting amount and cutting tools on CNC lathe processing among many factors.   Reasonable cutting amount can improve the efficiency of CNC lathe. When the   laser  cutting  speed is increased by 10 times and the feed rate is increased by 20 times, far beyond the traditional cutting forbidden zone, the cutting mechanism has undergone a fundamental change.   The result of CNC turning  and milling combined processing is: the metal removal rate per unit power is increased by 30% to 40%, the cutting force is reduced by 30%, the cutting life of the tool is increased by 70%, and the cutting left on the workpiece is greatly reduced. Heat, cutting vibration almost disappeared; cutting processing has taken an essential leap. According to the current situation of CNC lathes, increase the feed per tooth, improve pr...

Alternate vehicles, transportation equipment and field work machine oil in all seasons adapt to changes in temperature

  Foreign oil companies adopt tracking services for key users. Whenever the oil change period is approaching and users need to buy oil, they will test the oil for free in advance, issue an inspection report, and actively provide key users with a scientific basis for oil change. This kind of thoughtful service not only shortens the distance with users, but also improves the credibility of the brand. The alternation of the four seasons requires the oil used in vehicles, transportation equipment and field work tools to adapt to changes in temperature, especially in the north. Lubricants of different viscosity grades are usually replaced at the end of autumn and spring, thus forming a peak season for lubricating oil sales. Foreign oil companies attach great importance to the promotional activities in these two seasons. In the autumn, they launched low pour point, low viscosity grades of multi-grade antifreeze and antifreeze, and accompanied the promotion a...
