Concept Métal, your supplier of HR brass
HR brass is an alloy of copper and zinc designed to offer excellent mechanical strength, good machinability, and high durability.
Used in many industrial sectors, this alloy has technical properties that make it a reliable material for manufacturing precision parts.
What is HR brass?
High-strength brass is a copper alloy enriched with zinc that may be supplemented with other elements to improve certain mechanical properties.
This type of brass has many advantages:
- high mechanical strength
- excellent corrosion resistance
- dimensional stability
- the ability to be machined with precision
These characteristics make it suitable for use in industrial applications that require robust, durable, and reliable parts.
HR brass also offers excellent formability and machinability, which facilitates the manufacture of technical components with tight tolerances.
