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.

Machining and welding process notes for TC4 titanium alloy parts

Common welding methods for titanium and titanium alloys are as follows: Argon arc welding, submerged arc welding, vacuum electron beam welding, etc. Tungsten argon arc welding is used for thicknesses of 3 mm or less, and argon arc welding is done for 3 mm or more. The purity of argon is over 99.99%, and the content of air and water vapor in argon is strictly controlled. Currently, for TC4 titanium alloys, argon arc welding, plasma arc welding are often used for welding, but both methods need to be filled with welding material. Limitations on shield gas, purity and effectiveness increase the oxygen content of the joint, reduce its strength and increase its post-weld deformation. Electron beam welding and laser beam welding are used. The following is a description of precision welding and precautions for TC4 titanium alloy. 1. Weld hole problem Table of Contents 1. Weld hole problem 2, internal quality of welded part 3. Weld depth and its variation 4, j...

Introduction to the correct choice of lubricating oil in summer

In the summer heat, not only the human body will have various adverse reactions, but also the car. Today, I will share with you one of the things you need to pay attention to in summer-lubricants. The role of lubricating oil The heat generated by the friction between the various moving bearing surfaces of the engine is second only to the heat when the engine cylinder is burned, and the lubricating oil takes the heat away by pressure lubrication, thus ensuring the normal operation of the friction surface. The heated lubricating oil returns to the oil pan through the oil passage for cooling. In terms of the structure of the engine, the oil pan is located under the engine*, and it is exposed to the air. It is generally made of materials with good thermal conductivity, and the lubricating oil is air-cooled through it. The cooled lubricating oil is sent to the lubricated surface again. The viscosity of the lubricating oil is very important for protecting the en...

The production process of KOVAR parts processing has a great relationship with the process, including the process environment elements and the optimization configuration elements of the process route. The process route process needs to be formulated by an experienced person. The following is a brief explanation of the process process. The formulation of the process route process: First, the geometric structure of the parts, the core parts of the accuracy index, the accuracy requirements, material characteristics, heat treatment requirements and performance requirements, etc. should be carefully analyzed, and then the blanks of the parts should be reasonably selected, the cnc machining china equipment should be used reasonably, and reasonable measures should be taken. Many process links such as stress process measures are reasonably configured. In the production organization process, the process is strictly implemented. During the process, strict inspection is performed. For general p...
