Compression fittings, which are used in plumbing and electrical conduit systems, work by connecting two tubes or thin-walled pipes together. In instances where two pipes made of dissimilar materials are to be joined (most commonly PVC and copper), the fittings will be made of one or more compatible materials appropriate for the connection. Compression fittings […]
Like many industrial markets, the heavy truck market utilizes brass fittings for a variety of applications. Brass fittings have the strength, corrosion resistance and machinability in a variety of shapes and sizes to provide cost-effective solutions; making them an ideal material for many truck applications. It is common to find brass fittings in the air […]
Brass, an alloy (primarily) of copper and zinc, is one of the most common forging materials used for making fittings. Of course, there are also other metals can be used to forge fittings, such as stainless steel or aluminum. Brass fittings are in high demand because of some inherent properties which make them superior than […]
Air Conditioning Valve Body & Fittings Air conditioning system relies on numerous different components in order to keep you and your family comfortable during the heat of summer. Even homeowners with little knowledge of air conditioning mechanics recognize the names of such components as the compressor and the condenser. Few, however, are aware of the […]
About Push-to-Connect Fittings Push to Connect Fittings include a broad range, including adapters, caps, couplings, elbow and tees. The push-to-connect system creates a simple and secure connection without any soldering, crimping or joining materials. Just push the connection tube into the fitting until is stops. Due to the advantages of brass forging, most push-to-connect fittings are […]
It is quite easy to mix bronze and brass, which are the common copper forging alloys. They have the similar appearance and similar-sounding names, and are very popular used in forging process. Althought these two types of materials have many positive qualities, they are not identical. As a professional copper forging company in China, brass […]
About C10200 Copper Alloy C10200, together with C10100, also belongs to Oxygen Free High Conductivity Copper (OFHC). C10200 is the copper forging alloy used mainly in electronics due to high electrical conductivity. This high purity alloy (99.95 Cu+Ag) is produced without the use of metal or metalloid deoxidizers. Excessive amounts of impurities reduce conductivity. This […]
About C10100 Copper Alloy C10100, Oxygen Free High Conductivity Copper (OFHC), also known as OFE C10100, is a nearly pure copper forging alloy with 0.0005% oxygen content, which gets its strength strictly from cold forging or hot forging. Known for applications where electrical and thermal conductivity is very important, it has excellent hot forging and […]
