Brass plates are flat sheets made from brass and are used in the electrical and electronic industries. They have good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, which makes them useful in making connectors, switchgear, and circuit boards. They are utilized in industrial machinery for making precision parts like bearings, gears, and valves. They have a golden hue and weather resistance that makes them useful in ccladding, roofing, door and window frames, and decorative panels.

They are utilized in the automotive industry for radiators, oil coolers, and fittings because of their thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. They are used in marine environments as they are resistant to saltwater corrosion, which makes them suitable for making ship propellers, valves, and fittings. They are further used in musical instrument manufacturing, producing warm, bright sounds in trumpets, trombones, and saxophones. They are also utilized for artistic applications like engraving, plaques, and sculptures.

Feedstock for Brass Plates

The production of brass plates involves the preparation of alloy that uses copper and zinc as the major feedstock. The changes in the prices and availability of these raw materials affect its manufacturing.

The procurement of copper is affected by fluctuations in primary copper production (declining ore grades, environmental challenges, labor strikes, etc., affecting its availability) and the recycling of scrap copper. The high infrastructure growth and its demand in downstream industries like smelting and refining, semi-fabrication (producing wire rods, tubes, plates, sheets, foil), etc., affect its price and availability. Also, the growing focus on sustainable procurement adds environmental and social considerations that impact its sourcing strategies. Other factors like regulatory restrictions on mining activities, environmental regulations, sustainable sourcing requirements, and certification standards add to its procurement costs further.

Zinc is another major feedstock used in the production of brass plates. The availability and cost of zinc metal are affected by zinc concentrate, smelter capacity, and mining costs (limited concentrate supply or higher extraction costs fluctuate its prices). The smelting process is energy-intensive, and thus, changes in energy costs impact its sourcing. Its demand in downstream industries like galvanizing, brass and bronze manufacturing, zinc-based die-cast alloys, chemicals, fertilizers, animal feed, cosmetics, and construction affects its availability. Other factors like trade policies and environmental regulations add to its procurement costs further. Also, the availability of substitute materials like aluminium further affects zinc prices and procurement.
 

Market Drivers for Brass Plates

The market for brass plates is driven by their usage in the automotive, electrical electronics, construction, and marine sectors. Its utilization in the automotive industry fuels its demand for rising vehicle production and increasing adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles. Its application in the electrical and electronics sector for making connectors, terminals, switches, and other components boosts its demand.

Its usage in the construction industry, like plumbing, heating, cooling systems, and architectural hardware, along with infrastructure development, contributes to its market growth. The Asia-Pacific region leads its market because of the rise in the electrical and electronics market along with growth in construction activities and automotive production. European and North American regions are supported by advanced manufacturing, the adoption of electric vehicles, and strict environmental regulations that promote lead-free brass alloys.

The CAPEX for the brass plate production facility includes the costs of an induction or reverberatory furnace, a continuous casting machine, a hot rolling mill, and an annealing furnace. It also includes a pickling line equipped (with acid and rinse tanks), a cold rolling mill, edge trimming and shearing machines, recoilers and uncoilers, and plate levelers. Stackers or palletizers, quality control setups like XRF analyzers, thickness gauges, and surface profilometers, along with chillers, compressed air networks, fume extraction units, control panels, and overhead cranes, are covered under CAPEX.

The OPEX for brass plate manufacturing plants includes costs of raw material and energy usage that covers electricity for rolling and annealing and fuel for melting. It also includes wages for skilled labor needed for furnace operations, rolling mills, quality control, and costs of routine maintenance of equipment. The maintenance of quality control instruments and regular calibration, wastewater from pickling, and emissions from furnaces come under environmental management costs.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Brass Plates manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Brass Plates manufacturing.

• From Copper and Zinc: The feedstock for this process includes copper and zinc.

The manufacturing of brass plates starts with alloy preparation, where copper and zinc are combined along with other elements. The molten brass is then cast into slabs or billets by sand casting or die casting. These cast slabs go through hot rolling for better uniformity and mechanical strength. After hot rolling, the material is annealed to increase ductility and relieve internal stresses. Next, brass sheets are cold rolled to further reduce thickness and enhance their strength. The sheets are cut and formed according to requirements and go through polishing, electroplating, or etching, giving brass plates as the final products.
 

Properties of Brass Plates

Brass plates have a density in the range of 8.4 to 8.85 g/cm³ and show a bright golden-yellow appearance. They have good mechanical strength with tensile values between 205 and 470 MPa, along with good ductility and toughness. They have moderate electrical conductivity of about 28–56% IACS and high thermal conductivity of 70–234 W/m·K. They have good machinability and resist corrosion because of the formation of a protective oxide layer. They are made up of an alloy of copper (60–95%) and zinc (5–40%). They show strong resistance to oxidation and corrosion and have a melting point between 910 and 955 degree Celsius. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in industrial, architectural, electrical, and decorative applications.
