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.

PTJ RFQ

What Is PTJ?
PTJ adopts flexible manufacturing methods to help our customers to control the product cost but best quality guranteed. Some frequently used machining processes include CNC milling, CNC turning, precision grinding, EDM machining, laser cutting, welding, CNC punching, sheet metal stamping, profile extrusion, die casting, forging, and more. Most of the custom precision cnc machining china parts and plastic machining components we made are related to automation machines, robotics, medical devices, fiber optics, aerospace/aircraft, test and measurement, sensors, telecom components, scientific devices, audio equipments, bicycles, boats, camera, cars, drones, electronic enclosures, front panels, furniture and architecture hardware, lighting, motorcycles, scooters, utv, jeeps, trucks, sports equipments, machinery, music instruments, and so on.
For Surface Finishes
Thanks to our mature supplier management and continuously experience accumulation. Now we have very stable surface finish suppliers to assist us to do different surface finishes with stable and excellent quality. Some Frequently used surface finishes are Anodizing, Oxide, Nickel Plating, Chrome Plating, Gold / Silver Plating, Powder Coating, Zinc Plating, PVD Coating, Passivation, Heat Treatment, Electrochemical machining, Brushing, Polishing, Sandblasting, etc.
General Tolerance of Equipments
1. CNC Milling tolerance: +/-0.01mm
2. CNC turning tolerance: +/-0.01mm
3. Precision grinding tolerance: +/-0.005mm
4. EDM machining tolerance: +/-0.005mm
How to Control Quality?
1. Inspection by machinist himself who is responsible for a specific part machining.
2. First article part inspection by QA.
3. IPQC patrol inspection during production.
4. PQC inspection before shipping according to ISO9001 sampling inspection standard for large quantity production. And for small quantity, 100% full inspection.
5. Material Certificates and outgoing inspection reports could be provided.
Our CNC machine and swiss machining shop sets full and advanced inspection instruments such as CMM, projector, height instrument, industrial microscope, micrometer, calipers, thread gauges, pin gauges, block gauges, etc. so as to inspect all details on drawings and confirm quality is good and issue the ourgoing reports accordingly.
How to Start Working with Our Company?
1) Sending detailed RFQ with 2D and 3D drawings to through email to info@pintejin.com. General drawing formats like PDF/ STEP/IGES/X_T etc are accepted.
2) We check and confirm about materials, surface finish and quantiy, and evaluate. If any question, our sales engineer would double check with customers until everything is clear. We will quote accordingly if we are ok to make the parts with best quality. If no question and everything is clear, we send quotation with best prices within 24 hours. Our sales engineer team is online for 7/24 for offering customers the best cnc machining services.
3) We recommend to start from few pcs prototypes for approval at the beginning. If nothing wrong after customer’s test and approval, then we proceed to volume cnc manufacturing.
Some Tips for Customers
a. We accept Paypal payment of small amount payment for samples or small batch orders for building mutual trust at the beginning. General payment terms is 30% by wire transfer, and balance before shipping.
b. Delivery time for few pcs samples are generally 5 to 7 days, and 15 to 25 days for volume production. If the order quantity was too big, we would check and confirm delivery time sepertely.
c. Our company has concrete promise to all customers that if any quality problem caused by our factory, we would remake all parts for free or send money back.
Safe Packing Methods to Prevent Goods from Damage during Transportation
Due to long distance transportation to overseas countries, safe and strong packing is very important to gurantee the parts to be in good conditions when arriving at customer’s hand. We choose different packing materials according to different parts and quantity. Some commonly used packing materials are pp/bubble bag, oil paper, foam, blister tray, 5 layer carton, wood box, etc. See below some packing pictures.
