The difference between brass valve and bronze valve
In the direct sales of copper valves, brass valves and bronze valves are often used products, so what is the difference between them?
Brass valve is a copper alloy with zinc as the main element. According to its chemical composition, it can be divided into special brass and ordinary copper. Ordinary brass has good plasticity and is a copper-zinc binary alloy with good processing performance.
Special brass has good strength and corrosion resistance, and can be used for a long time. Bronze valves are composed of many elements, including aluminum, lead, manganese, beryllium, silicon and other elements. According to the content, they can be divided into tin bronze, aluminum bronze, and beryllium bronze. Valve products for different purposes need to choose different bronzes. Because each function has its own focus.
Although brass valves and bronze valves are both copper alloys, the other elements added are very different. It is necessary to choose suitable valve products according to their different needs.
