MANUFACTURE OF BRASS.


An Art Known to tho Ancient Egyptlans
and the Corinthians.
Brass is formed by fusing together
copper and zinc. Different proportions
OF these metals produce brasses pos.
sessing very marked distinctive prop.
critics. The portions of the different
ingredients are seldom precisely alike;
these depend upon the requirements OF
various uses for which the alloys are
intended. Peculiar qualities OF the
constituent metals also exercise con-
siderable influence on the results.
Brass is fabled to have been first ac-
cidentally formed at the burning Of
Corinth, LAG b. c.. but articles Of brass
have been discovered in the Egyptian
tombs, which prove it to have had a
much greater antiquity Brass was
known to the ancients as more valu-
able kind Of copper. The yellow color
was considered natural quality, and
was not supposed to indicate an alloy.
Certain mines were much valued, as
they yielded this gold-colored "copper"
but after time it was found that by
melting copper with certain earth
(calamine), the copper was changed in
color. The nature OF the change was
still unsupported.
Alloys OF copper and zinc retain
their malleability and ductility when
the zinc is not above thirty-three to
forty per cent. Of the alloy. When
the zinc is In excess of this, a crystal
line character begins to prevail. An
alloy OF one copper to two zinc may be
crumbled in mortar when cold.
Yellow brass that files and turns
well may consist Of copper four, zinc
one to two. A greater proportion Of
zinc makes 1t harder and less tractable;
with less zinc it is more tenacious, and
hangs to the file like copper. Yellow
brass Copper two, zinc one) is hard
ened by the addition of two to three
per cent of tin, Or made more mall
leable by the same proportion Of lead.
Copper, zinc, tin and lead IN varying
proportions form alloys. always in
definite quantity for u given alloy.
The ease with which some of the metals
are burned away at comparatively low
temperatures renders it very easy
matter to make several different kinds
OF metals with the Same mix. This
very thing occurs. and the great diff
Guilty in getting bearing brasses uni
form in quality causes some engineers
to babbit all bearings rs the best way
to insure uniformity. One lot of east
ings may be soft and tough, another
hard, and so on.
Zinc Is added the last thing as the
crucible comes out of the furnace, and
the mixing OF tho mass is matter of
uncertainty. If the metal is too hot
for the zinc large percentage goes off
in the form of greenish cloud of
vapor, and the longer the stirring goes
on the more escapes. The two metals
which enter into the composition OF
brass have an affinity for each other,
but they must be brought into intimate
contact before they will combine.
Some brass founders use precautions
to prevent volatilization Of the more
fusible metals, introducing them under
cover of powdered charcoal on top of
the copper. Engineer.
