Brass wire is a type of copper wire, with its internal structure made of brass, which significantly enhances the conductive properties 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 conductive performance but also excellent outer insulation properties. Brass wire possesses good mechanical properties and excellent plasticity in the hot state. Moreover, the wire is relatively soft, durable, and effectively avoids various safety incidents.
Brass wire has excellent conductivity and is widely used in the manufacture of wires, cables, and brushes; its good thermal conductivity makes it commonly used in magnetic instruments and meters that require protection against magnetic interference, such as compasses and aviation instruments; its excellent plasticity allows it to be easily processed by hot and cold pressure, and it can be made into tubes, rods, wires, strips, belts, plates, foils, and other copper products. Pure copper products come in two types: smelted and processed.
Main characteristics of brass wire: Brass wire has strong wear resistance. It is high in strength, hardness, and resistant to chemical corrosion. It also has outstanding machining mechanical properties. The seamless copper tubes drawn from brass wire are soft and highly wear-resistant. Brass wire seamless tubes can be used in heat exchangers and condensers, low-temperature pipelines, and submarine transport pipes. They are used to manufacture plates, strips, rods, tubes, and cast parts. With a copper content of 62% to 68%, it has strong plasticity and is used in the manufacture of pressure-resistant equipment.
Aluminum in brass wire can improve the strength and hardness of brass and enhance its corrosion resistance in the atmosphere. Brass wire is used to manufacture corrosion-resistant parts.
