Understanding Brass Pressed Parts
Brass Pressed Parts represent components manufactured through mechanical pressing operations where Brass sheet metal is forced into dies using hydraulic or mechanical presses to achieve desired shapes. The pressing process applies controlled force to deform Brass material plastically, creating components with excellent dimensional accuracy and surface finish. Our Brass pressing operations handle material thicknesses ranging from 0.3mm to 6mm, producing everything from simple flat washers to complex three-dimensional geometries. The pressing technique offers significant advantages for medium to high-volume production runs, typically from 5,000 pieces upward, where tooling costs can be amortized across larger quantities. We manufacture Brass pressed components for electrical switchgear assemblies, automotive interior hardware, decorative architectural elements, and industrial fastening systems. The cold working process during pressing actually increases the strength of Brass through work hardening, resulting in components with improved mechanical properties compared to as-cast alternatives. Our precision presses range from 25-ton capacity machines for delicate electronic components up to 400-ton giants handling heavy-duty industrial hardware.
Brass Stamped Parts Manufacturing
Brass Stamped Parts are produced through progressive die stamping where Brass strip or coil material advances through multiple stations, each performing specific operations like blanking, piercing, forming, and trimming. Stamping remains the most economical method for producing high volumes of Brass components with consistent quality, particularly for parts requiring multiple features or complex geometries formed in a single stroke. Our stamping facility operates both mechanical and servo-driven presses offering speeds from 60 to 300 strokes per minute depending on part complexity and material thickness. We regularly manufacture stamped Brass electrical terminals, automotive connectors, electronic contact springs, plumbing valve components, and telecommunications hardware. The stamping process excels at maintaining tight tolerances across millions of parts, with our production achieving positional accuracy within ±0.05mm for critical features. Material utilization in stamping operations typically reaches 75-85% efficiency through optimized nesting patterns and progressive die layouts, making it cost-effective for both prototype and production quantities. Our engineering team assists customers in design-for-manufacturability reviews, often suggesting modifications that reduce material waste, eliminate secondary operations, or improve part functionality.
Brass Deep Drawn Parts Production
Brass Deep Drawn Parts are manufactured through a specialized forming process where Brass blanks are drawn through dies using punch pressure, creating seamless cylindrical or box-shaped components with depth exceeding their diameter. Deep drawing allows production of complex hollow Brass shapes without welding or joining operations, resulting in stronger, leak-proof components ideal for pressure vessels, containers, and enclosures. Our deep drawing capabilities produce parts with draw ratios up to 2.5:1 in single operations, with multi-stage drawing enabling even deeper geometries for specialized applications. We manufacture deep drawn Brass cartridge cases, pressure sensor housings, electronic shielding cans, musical instrument components, and decorative architectural elements. The process maintains excellent material uniformity and surface finish while work-hardening the Brass for enhanced strength characteristics. Our hydraulic deep drawing presses range from 50-ton to 600-ton capacity, equipped with sophisticated blank holding systems and automated material feeding for consistent results. The seamless construction of deep drawn Brass parts eliminates potential leak points and weak zones present in welded or mechanically fastened assemblies, making them preferred choices for demanding applications in aerospace, defense, and medical device industries.

Progressive Die – Multi-station stamping tooling where Brass strip material advances through sequential operations including piercing, forming, blanking, and trimming, with each press stroke performing multiple operations simultaneously for high-volume efficient production.
Stripper Plate – Tool component in stamping dies that holds Brass material flat against the die during punching operations and strips material from punch faces during upstroke, preventing material lifting and ensuring dimensional accuracy.
Work Hardening – Metallurgical phenomenon where cold forming operations increase Brass strength and hardness through plastic deformation and dislocation density changes, requiring annealing to restore formability for subsequent operations.
Springback – Natural tendency of formed Brass components to partially return toward original flat configuration after forming forces removed, requiring die geometry compensation to achieve specified final dimensions.
Clearance – Intentional gap between punch and die in stamping operations, expressed as percentage of material thickness, affecting shear quality, die wear, and required forming forces, typically 5-10% for Brass materials.
Annealing – Heat treatment process heating Brass to specified temperature range (typically 425-650°C depending on alloy) followed by controlled cooling to restore ductility and formability after cold working operations.
Coining – High-pressure stamping operation applying forces exceeding material yield strength to cold-work Brass into precise die cavities, producing components with exceptional dimensional accuracy and surface detail reproduction.
Dezincification – Corrosion mechanism where selective leaching removes zinc from Brass alloy leaving porous copper-rich structure with degraded mechanical properties, preventable through resistant Brass alloys or protective coatings in susceptible environments.
Grain Direction – Crystallographic orientation pattern in rolled Brass sheet affecting forming characteristics, tensile properties, and bendability, with components designed considering grain direction for optimal performance and reduced cracking risk.
