Brass

Description

Copper and zinc are melted together and then atomized in air to produce many alloy variations, with the most common being 90/10, 80/20, and 70/30 copper/zinc. The irregular particle shapes make these powders ideal for various applications.

Specialized alloys and sizes can be accommodated. Most common grades are sold as -60 or -100 mesh products and are commonly used for powder metallurgy applications.
