Types and main advantages of brass wire 

Brass wire is an alloy of copper and zinc that varies its physical properties depending on the amount of each of the materials used. 

Advantage: 

The machining of brass wire is fast and productive. It is easy to handle, mold, punch and melt. It is a hard and resistant component, but it can be easier to use than bronze. 

Brass has multiple properties: mechanical, thermal, electrical and chemical. Among them we highlight:  

• Machinability and ductility. It is only malleable when cold, when hot it can break.  
• High resistance to oxidation, corrosion, wear and saline conditions. 
• High electrical conductivity and has good welding properties. 
• Highly recyclable. 
• Unaffected by exposure to extreme temperatures or light. 
• Shiny and golden appearance.
