This has contributed to generating the misunderstanding that brass has insufficient mechanical characteristics. The reality, however, is quite different: a glance at the values of the mechanical characteristics is enough to understand that brass has nothing to envy to those of steel, as shown by the data reported in table 10 of UNI EN 12420: 2000, or the European standard for forged and stamped copper and copper alloys. The minimum values of the breaking load of brass, which are between 280 and 510 N / mm, are the same as those of an excellent quality steel. The plastic deformation of metals and in particular the hot forging of brass is a consolidated process, and has replaced, where possible, the classic foundry processes, rendered in part obsolete by the lower cost of applying this efficient technology. For decades Brawo SpA has adopted this production technique, thus acquiring cutting-edge know-how and one of the highest production and quality standards in the world. The high production cost of brass parts is significantly reduced by the extreme workability and the high recovery value of the scraps generated during the manufacturing phase. Brawo SpA is able to follow the customer even in the design phase, so as to obtain a production cycle that allows to optimize the yield of the pieces and to recover the scraps in full, in order to contain manufacturing costs as much as possible. In the vast majority of industrial needs, hot forging far exceeds casting for higher quality yield, for processing speed, for the recovery of scraps, for lower production costs, for greater reliability of the working process. © 2014 BRAWO BRASSWORKING SpA - VAT: 00566320982 - Tax Code 00483130175 - Share Capital Euro 9,288,000.00 fully paid-up Registered office: Via XXV Aprile, 36 - 25050 Pian Camuno (Brescia) ITALY - Tel. +39 0364 591556 - Fax +39 0364 591407 CCIAA BS n.00483130175 of 19 / 02/1996 - Company subject to management and coordination by HOLDING UMBERTO GNUTTI SpA
