Low brass is the most popular brass alloy for wire cloth screens. With an analysis of 80% copper and 20% zinc, low brass offers good resistance to corrosion like copper although its electrical and thermal conductivity are lower. The tensile property of brass screen is higher than those of copper with some sacrifice in formability.
Our in house brand, trusted since 1960’s for it’s supreme quality and reliability in various industries that require premium quality metal meshes.
Brass resists atmospheric corrosion, water and many salt water solutions. A high percentage of zinc makes it stronger and more durable than copper and bronze.
Bronze is abrasion resistant and is well suited for exposure to most atmospheres. Its high copper content makes it more corrosion resistant than brass. It is also harder and stronger than copper.
