Brass Roll Tape

Its malleability depends on the copper content. white brass containing less than 55% copper cannot be processed easily. These are only ground into powder and find a place to be used in hard soldering operations. Malleable brass, on the other hand, is usually alpha brass, which contains more than 62% copper and can be processed cold, and beta brass, which contains less copper and requires hot processing. Alpha brass has superior cold processing properties and is widely used in the production of bolts, pins and screws. Beta-brass, on the other hand, is less ductile, but more durable. They are mainly used in the manufacture of tap valves, door and window handles and some fittings.
