Brass wire is a type of copper wire, with its internal structure made of brass, which significantly enhances the conductive performance of the brass conductor. The exterior of the brass wire is insulated with rubber, while some use high-quality plastic as an outer protective layer, ensuring that the wire not only has strong conductivity but also excellent outer insulation properties. Brass wire possesses good mechanical properties and plasticity in the hot state. Moreover, the wire is relatively soft, durable, and effectively prevents various safety accidents.
Brass wire has excellent conductivity and is widely used in the manufacture of wires, cables, and brushes. It also has good thermal conductivity, making it commonly used in magnetic instruments and meters that require protection against magnetic interference, such as compasses and aviation instruments. Its high plasticity allows it to be easily processed through hot and cold pressure forming, enabling the production of copper materials in various forms like tubes, rods, wires, strips, belts, plates, and foils. Pure copper products come in two types: smelted and processed.
Main characteristics of brass wire: Brass wire has strong wear resistance. It exhibits high strength, hardness, and strong resistance to chemical corrosion. Additionally, its machinability and mechanical properties are outstanding. The seamless copper tubes drawn from brass wire are soft and highly wear-resistant. Brass wire seamless tubes can be used in heat exchangers, condensers, low-temperature pipelines, and submarine transport pipes. They are also used in the manufacture of plates, strips, rods, tubes, and cast parts. With a copper content of 62% to 68%, brass wire is highly plastic and suitable for manufacturing pressure-resistant equipment.
Aluminum in brass wire can improve its strength and hardness, as well as its corrosion resistance in the atmosphere. Brass wire is used in the production of corrosion-resistant parts.
