Brass Ingots
The recycling of brass scrap is a basic essential of the economics of the industry. Brass is normally made from a basic melt of scrap of similar composition adjusted by the addition of virgin copper or zinc as required to meet the specification before pouring. The use of brass scrap bought at a significantly lower price than the metal mixture price means that the cost of the fabricated brass is considerably less than it might otherwise be.
Leaded brass is manufactured by adding some percentage lead so as to improve machinability. Other brasses like bronze, gun-metal etc, are made for special purposes with properties modified to give extra strength, hardness, corrosion resistance or other attributes.
