Laser Engraving Brass
Laser systems are widely used for marking and engraving a wide range of materials, including brass. Known for its durability and attractive appearance, brass is an alloy made up mainly of copper and a small amount of zinc and is used across a host of industries for many different purposes. Let’s explore the properties of brass, what it’s typically used for and explore some of the key applications of laser engraved brass…
STRONG & DURABLE
The Properties of Brass
Durable, strong and with a unique finish whether treated or untreated, let’s explore some of the key properties of brass to find out what makes it such a popular material…
Strong & Durable
Because it is an alloy metal, meaning it is a mixture of other metals (mainly copper and zinc), it is known for its strength as well as its pliability. Not only is brass strong and durable, it also doesn’t rust.
Malleable
Compared to other metals, brass is relatively simple to mould. This makes it an ideal choice for decorative items because it can also be easily engraved with intricate details.
Resistant to Corrosion
In general brass is resistant to corrosion, but particular from seawater. This makes it the perfect choice for maritime and outdoor applications that are often subject to harsh weather conditions.
Good Electrical Conductivity
Although it’s not as conductive as copper, brass still offers good electrical conductivity which makes it ideal for use in certain electrical components.
Visual Appeal
Brass has a unique yellowish-gold colour that be polished to create a high-shine finish. If left untreated, it can develop a natural patina which gives it a highly sought-after aged look, used widely in interior decoration.
