What Makes 63/37 Brass Special?
The 63/37 composition—also known as cartridge brass—is prized for its excellent cold workability, moderate strength, and good corrosion resistance. These qualities make it an ideal choice for applications where precision, durability, and a smooth surface finish are essential.
Let’s explore some of the key industries that benefit from Brass Pipe 63/37:
Applications of Brass Pipe 63/37
1. Sugar Industry
In sugar mills and refineries, brass pipes are used for their resistance to corrosion caused by moisture and acidic compounds present in sugarcane juice and by-products. The 63/37 alloy ensures reliable fluid transport and structural support in harsh processing environments.
2. Plumbing
Thanks to its anti-corrosive properties and ease of joining, Brass Pipe 63/37 is commonly used in plumbing systems, including fittings, valves, and water lines. It is particularly favored in environments where metal components are exposed to moisture and varying temperatures.
3. Furniture
In the world of interior design and furniture manufacturing, brass brings a warm, golden aesthetic alongside functionality. 63/37 brass pipes are often used in chair frames, support structures, and decorative accents for both residential and commercial furniture.
4. Hand Pumps
Rural and agricultural water supply systems often rely on manual hand pumps, where brass pipes are chosen for their durability, resistance to wear, and compatibility with potable water.
5. Ammunitions
This specific brass alloy is also known as cartridge brass for a reason. It’s widely used in the ammunition industry for making shell casings due to its formability and ability to withstand high-pressure environments without cracking.
6. General Engineering
In general mechanical and structural engineering, Brass Pipe 63/37 is a preferred material for components that require precision machining, reliable conductivity, and corrosion resistance—from bushings and bearings to fluid-handling systems.
