Forging Brass is a high-strength alloy of copper and zinc, commonly used in the manufacturing of components requiring durability, corrosion resistance, and excellent machinability. It is ideal for hot forging applications due to its excellent thermal conductivity and ability to retain mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. This alloy is widely used in automotive, plumbing, and hardware industries for producing valves, fittings, and gears. Forging brass also offers a good balance between strength and ductility, making it suitable for complex shapes and precision components.
