Q. How are brass items manufactured?

Answer

First of all, brass is made by mixing two raw metals i.e., copper and zinc in a specific ratio and forming a molten metal. This formed metal is allowed to solidify. Based on the properties of the formed alloy or the brass stock, it is used in the preparation of various products with various designs and through a series of various operations an end product can be produced which is a brass-based product. Brass stock can then be utilized to prepare diverse forms of products and these include billet, tubes and pipes, wire, sheet, bar, rod and plate. One such process of forming the products is known as the extrusion process of forming cylinder-shaped brass items.
