Brass

A Golden-Shining Metal

Brass is a material with many possibilities and applications. It's main components are copper and zinc. By adding various alloying elements, the brass can be given unique properties, and there are many different brass grades adapted for various types of processing and end products.

At Nordic Brass Gusum, we manufacture brass in the form of rods, profiles, and ingots. These serve as semi-finished products that are further refined by our customers. Examples of final products include nuts, plumbing fittings, lock components, electrical parts, and decorative items, among others.

Recycling Loop

We are very proud of our return system based on shuttle trucks that both deliver products and collect chips & scrap that arise in our customers’ own production processes.

This means that our customers can pay parts of their new orders of brass with their own production waste, since we collect it and remelt it into new brass.

All transports are carried out with vehicles that meet the emission requirements for EUR6, and our Swedish shuttle trucks also run on HVO-100.

Lead-Free Brass – AquaNordic®

Nordic Brass Gusum has developed a production method for lead-free brass, the AquaNordic® process. With the AquaNordic® method, we manufacture free-cutting brass CW510L AquaNordic® and dezincification-resistant brass (DZR) CW511L AquaNordic®.

The alloys are lead-free and have excellent machining properties, on par with brasses containing higher levels of lead. Nordic Brass Gusum also offers a lead-free alloy for ingots intended for low-pressure and die casting, CB771S AquaNordic®, which is both dezincification-resistant and polishable. In addition, all alloys meet regulatory requirements and are 100% recyclable.
