What is the Chemical composition of Brass IS 319 grade 1.
Updated: Nov 19, 2021
Brass is a metal alloy primarily made of copper and zinc., other metals—such as iron, aluminum, silicon, and manganese—are also added to produce different properties and color variations.
adding High amount of zinc content which results in more strength and more ductility and adding manganese increses the resistance for corossion.
Chemical composition of Brass IS 319 grade 1.
Brass mainly consists 60% of copper(maximum 63%) along with other elements such as lead(pb)(2.5%-3.0%),iron(.35% )and remaining percentage zinc.
Elements | Min-Max Percentage |
Cu | 56-59% |
Pb | 2-3.5% |
Fe | 0.35 to max |
Others | .70 |
