Product families

Brass CuZn20
Brass Powder made with 20% Zn
Description of the material and main chemical components

Brass Powder made with 20% Zn

Description of the manufacturing process

Water atomisation from molten alloy, sieving

Typical applications

Non ferrous sintering, friction, filler

Particle shape

Irregular to rounded

Particle upper cut size (full range)

150

Particle upper cut size (typical)

150

Apparent density (typical)

3.25

Application notes

Brass is used in sintering for parts with modest mechanical characteristics requiring oxidation resistance. In friction applications it is appreciated for thermal conductive characteristic and lubricant effect. Specific gold colour is often a reason of choice either in sintering and in filler use
