Anything but ordinary: brass

Anything but ordinary: brassAnything but ordinary: brass

In our everyday lives, brass accompanies us at every turn and has become so self-evident that we no longer even notice it. Whether cable clamps or light switches, fittings or ball valves, semiconductor components or lights: Brass is used for all these products - for a very good reason. The copper alloy based on zinc and copper has great significance due to the interaction of several physical-mechanical properties: its good electrical conductivity and high corrosion resistance, its dense structure and, last but not least, its mechanical stability.

Naturally, each application places its own demands on a material. Brass is suitable for such a wide range of applications because the expression of its various material properties can be specifically influenced by the mixing ratio of copper and zinc. A higher proportion of zinc, for example, not only gives the alloy a more yellowish hue and a lower melting point, but also improves its conductivity, while an increasing proportion of copper makes the alloy more reddish and at the same time more resistant to corrosion. In some areas, other metals such as silicon or iron are also added to the alloy. These so-called special brasses include, for example, nickel silver, a copper-zinc-nickel alloy that is often used for jewelry and tableware.

Precise for sowing and cuttings. Watering device brass

Japanese casting tool brass

Perfect in its function, the casting device lies well in the hand and is a real feast for the eyes to boot - brass and aluminum are the materials from which it is made. The device is equipped with a tight and drip-free closing ball valve and is otherwise completely without wearing parts. Light is the watering device not only by weight, it also distributes a very gentle rain, and therefore is preferably used as a watering utensil for sowings and cuttings. This is made possible by 500 tiny holes (each with a diameter of exactly 0.4 mm). In addition, the device combines targeted watering with a greater range - and is therefore also very suitable for watering potted plants and for use in confined spaces on the balcony or in the greenhouse.
